The passenger side bonnet catch on my S3 is not holding the bonnet down because the catch is not springing back to grip the bonnet spring (does that make sense ???). Anyone experienced this ? Anyone got any ideas how I might fix it ?

All help greatfully received !

Thanks guys ! Looks like I now have something to do this evening (and tomorrow evening by the sounds of things).

I'll let you know how I get on...

Managed to fix it !

However, I didn't use anything as technical as highlighted here...closed the bonnet by pushing it shut whilst pushing towards the centre of the bonnet at the same time. Probably not a permanent fix, but it was fine all the way to work this morning !

At least when it goes again I've got the info I need to fix it for good (well for a while anyway).

Thanks again for the advice guys.
