I have recently had some work done on my Cerb, and noticed when I washed it a week after I drove it back, that the bonnet has not been put back on correctly and is consequently rubbing against the bodywork. It was'nt like this when I bought the car, and I've only ever used this garage to have any work done.

I'm not going to drive all the way back to the garage I had the work done at just to have the bonnet re-aligned.
So, is it a notoriously difficult job? Even though it sounds pretty straight forward.

Thanks.

I imagine it will just be adjusting the nuts that attach the bonnet at the front of the car...

Best thing will be to look with the hood up and see if they seem incorrectly aligned (just near the nose of the car...)

Yep either the 13mm nuts inside or the 4 10mm nuts in teh mouth of the car.

THese have a fair bit of slop in the holes and can cause miss-alignment too.

Thanks chaps.
Hopefully it won't be too tedious.
