Engine lid catch problems...grrr

[SWMark]

Hey guys

Bit of a pansy question for mechanical but didnt know where else to post. The catch for my engine cover isnt holding the engine cover down. It starter to be a biiitch to shut properly intermittently, now it wont at all. Ive tried bringing the catch up but it still doesnt click, sometimes the cover does kindof drop down enough but theres no click, and it just pops up when i shut a door.


Yaaaaaaaaaargh

Any help?

Many thanks

Mine does the same thing Mark.
I just keep a screwdriver with the toolkit. Before you shut the bonnet push the screwdriver down inside on the left hand side of the mechanism till it clicks then drop the bonnet. Bit o wd40 wudn't hurt either. Sorted
Hope this helps.
