Technical Bonnet catch that doesn't...

[P1NKY]

...catch. I have greased & oiled it, made sure everything is free, checked the cable and fiddled with the height of the rubber bump stops, but it won't stay shut.

The last thing I want is my bonnet meeting my windscreen at 50mph, so any advice is really appreciated.

... so any advice is really appreciated.

Trial it with screw driver while bonnet is open - there is one in windscreen washer bottle.


If screwdriver does make the latch to lock, inspect bonnet pin as they can wear on the diameter or bend.

Thanks kolza, I'll spend some more time on it and see what I can find

I had this with mine - I thought it was the catch so I bought a new one, it then worked better but still came open on the bumps. I re-adjusted the cable (well, I actually fitted a new one off a Land Rover, it's on the forums somewhere) and it is fine now.

Thanks northernchap, I have a NOS bonnet cable, so I'll give that a go on the weekend along with some feetling suggested by kolza
