Another bonnet problem thread (VXR8)

[shakermikee]

Following on from Automattick's thread about the bonnet not latching shut, mine has the opposite problem.

It won't open, pull the bonnet open catch in the car and nothing happens the bonnet stays firmly shut.

Anyone had this problem before?

I'd occassionally get this with my old Senator & would need someone else to push down on the bonnet whilst I pulled the release handle which then did the job. Was then able to adjust the release catch.

This! Did the trick.

Catch all gunked up, cleared out and lubricated and seems to be ok now.

Cheers.
