It runs under the slam panel on the drivers side, then into the wing area.

This may help:  https://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/Volkswagen_Golf_GTI_Mk_V/25-BODY-Hood_Lock_Replacement/25-BODY-Hood_Lock_Replacement.htm

The above guide is on a LHD car so will be the opposite on a RHD car.

Thanks guys, it’s the lower cable itself that I’m looking for, tried all the usual outlets no joy , looks like I’ll have to resort to vow , there was a guy on eBay but he’s out of stock. I’ve bodged mine up with cable ties for now 😀
