hey guys im having trouble closing my bonnet and noticed the release spring is sitting in the middle where it should be sitting to the far left. any know what could cause this. spring stuffed ??? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i have a chrome 1 you can have for free if you wanna replace it, brand new came in a kit with the striker but never used it. Try wd40 on it (drown it) might be abit jammed up with crud and paint. Let it soak, then get a mate to open /close the handle in the cabin while you spray some wd40 on it, should free it up if its jammed

ok ill give that a go mate if not ill give you a pm. so the spring can stuff up or not really

might have caught and bent. Also check the cable is moving freely when pulled, might be jamming and stopping it springing back

I had this problem it was really jammed up with 20 yrs of crud and the bonnet cable had streched slightly as well

yep with the new cable installed it moves nicely.
