Reluctant Bonnet Catch

[Salt]

Sometimes when I close the bonnet on my 1.4 the catch won't work, and it's just held closed by the little release lever under the lip of the bonnet.

It only seems to happen when the engine is hot, so I think that the metal is expanding which makes the catch stick.

Is this a common problem on the 1.4, and is there a simple fix?

Just put some WD40 on it, solves it

That was the first and second thing I tried

The catch has some adjustment on it, its proberly worked a little loose and has moved down slightly when you have been closing the bonnet, try slackning the bolts off and move the catch up slightly.

Thanks Benny, will give that a try tomorrow.
