Title: Bonnet release adjustment
Post by: Jimbob on 23 June 2010, 19:13:16

My new bonnet release is a little 'intermittant'

Ive tightened the cable - am now happy with the release point
Ive greased up the catch etc.

but the bonnet still doesnt always pop, and needs a push while the handle is pulled.

Sure there is another adjustment, but can't remember what  :-/

There is adjustment on the bonnet, the finger sort of thing which has a spring around it, undo the nut slightly and line it up better in the slam plate :y

Also wind the rubbers in on the edge of the bonnet then bit at a time wind them out until bonnet shuts properly :y

I would guess the bonnet anti rattle rubbers at the ends.  Wind them in and ensure it opens/closes fine then gradually increase the bonnet rubber stops height until the bonnet runs flush with the wings either side....

I had this the other week on the ex-plod did the adjustment thing but still would not open first time without help so I paid the £3 for a new spring (under the slam panel) now it works fist time every time. It's a sod to do.
