Just taken the inspection bonnet off to check levels etc and one of the spring loaded pins from the front just fell off onto the floor. The normally non-visible part of the 'bolt' is threaded and it looks like I've lost the small nut/threaded shim that fits inside the drilled hole (where the spring lives) on the inspection bonnet piece.

Any idea what this bit is called and where I might get one from... Inspection bonnet currently rattling around a hell of a lot more than normal eek

Any pics Mike?
Can't work out whats missing.

I remember about a year ago the drivers side spring catch came loose. I did tighten it up again and applied a small amount of thread lock and kept my eye on it but no further movement. I'm just trying to picture in my head if the same has happened but this time its worked itself completly loose and fallen off???

Hi Lee
Yep its the drivers side one that has gone walkabout - it's probably resting on the radiator under the fan housing. I'll have to take the fan off to find it, or else it's £50 for a simple spring-loaded catch !!
