Not the cable stretching but could be the cable coming out of the lock mechanism itself, after my little bump the bonnet was more difficult to open and after a good tug ,2 clicks could be heard when it released.
After I removed the slam panel I had a look and one of the plastic ends on the cable was damaged and had started to pull out of the lock.
As a quick fix whilst waiting for new locks and cables I made sure that the little half moon was in the open position and tightened the 2 bolts up so it couldn't move.
This obviously means you only have one lock working and is not recommended but it was that or being unable to open the bonnet
