ive just had me bonnet cable and catch replaced.

i opened the bonnet today and it wouldnt close. i managed to close it but now it wont open. I think the cable may have moved out of place or something.

Also how much am i looking to pay for Front new break discs and pads. Parts and Labour.

it could have popped out or your catch spring could use a bit of grease i had the same problem with mine a while back and it was a stiff spring behind the realese catch

You could try some engine oil on the release catch,get a mate to keep on moving the lever inside the car while you add the oil to the mechanism on the slam panel.Also adjust the mechanism on the slam panel.
