Bonnet Wont Shut

[Jae-Glanza]

Alright folks, just popped out to check my water n oil levels, went to shut the bonnet and the latch isn't biting at all!

Did notice a bolt missing from the the top intercooler bracket that goes through the bottom of the latch is missing, but not sure that'll be the problem!

Any advice on what to check?

Please help =]

by the way, its not the rubbers that you can wind it and out by the headlights neither

u mean the bolt missing from the bit in the middle that when theres a top mount goes right down to the bottom because if its that bolt it could be that. the one on my other starler was cut to fit the cooler in and that bonnet dont close properly. used to have to slam it.

think its because it supports the latch mechanism so when it isnt supported it just moves down the way instead of catchin the bonnet if ya get what i mean.

yes wat he said^^^

wen your closing the bonnet the mechanisum is bein pushed down instead of stationary so theres no pressure to open the latch for the bonnet to stay fixed

[Jae-Glanza]

Exactly what you both said, never thought that bolt would have affected it but searched the garage for one and pow, luckily it fitted and works fine now.

The bonnet was pushing the whole latch mechanism down.

Dont i feel like a dick ;]

Thanks lads! uksc to the rescue!
