Hi mate,
I had this on my s70, If you climb under the car on the passenger side and look up you can get your hand upthere to activate the catch yourself, its a bit of a pain, but possible,
hope this helps

I had this problem late last year and i did reach under neath and pulled both cables one on either side and it opened

I'm sure the red handle will only have one cable as it tee's off from the o/s catch over to the n/s. Sometimes if you get someone to pull, gently, on the handle under the dash while someone manipulates the bonnet it will open if it's just a simple case of a sticky catch

Take a look at Matthews Volvo site - sure you will find the answer.
