This might seem stupid to you guys, but I can’t get my bonnet to close. The catch doesn’t seem to work all the time. The RAC man managed to close it and said it was just a simple problem and it would be ok now. It isn’t. Freelander 2 - 2010. Help! |

What did the RAC man say was the problem ? You need to find out what is actually wrong with the catch. It could be a seized catch, seized cable, bent or broken catch ? Jules |

The only thing that solved the problem on my 09 , was to change the entire cable , the inner wasn’t returning after pulling it to open the bonnet. Over 9 years the original was either worn or corroded internally . In the meantime if you are having problems closing it , don’t bounce it , the plastic which attaches the front bumper and grill gets brittle with age and will crack if you slam the bonnet . 2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership
