Hood Catch Stopped Working!

cu3ed · 2 Dec 2012 at 15:31

Have ran into a problem when filling up the water bottle under the hood. Went to drop the hood down to get the usual "thunk" but it keeps springing back up into the safety latch, as in it wont stay in its proper locked down position, it will push down but springs back up into the safety latch. Any ideas!?

Actually never mind...WD40 and a hammer and now its working.

Sometimes cars are fitted with an emergency cable. I have had to use one once on an old Lancia. Worth checking the net or the owners manual.
