Bonnet wont stick!
Perhaps an idiot question really but my car bonnet will only lock in the middle and left side, not on the right, it doesnt stick properly!
Apart from new locks or whatever, anybody knows a trick or something, perhaps lubricating the lock?
thanks!

Yes oil the latch that doesn’t work.
Push a screw driver into the U and see if it latches.
Pull bonnet release before trying to close bonnet!

The rubber bung/adjuster under the bonnet may need adjusting, it just rotates to adjust. It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Hi,
make sure the lever Inside the car goes fully back as well, when I bought our D3 left n/s lock was a bit iffy,
lube the lock but still did not always lock, make sure lever is fully back and all good again.
