Vs 1995 bonnet opening issue... not a car smart person

[homer28b]

An easy method (once you open the bonnet as above) is to loosen the single bonnet lock pin as per the pix/link - just undo it one turn.

This worked for me when I got my VR.

coolngroovy i'm going to try that method simply to center my bonnet, I can never get it perfect, my bonnet opens fine but this thread was a big help cheers.

My auto electrician put some grease on the spring and nob thing and it seems to open now, what a nice auto electrician! Seeing as i didn't even take it there for him to fix, he did a couple other things too, and he didn't charge heaps woot!

Thanks guys!

Coolngroovey,

I was skeptical when I heard this advice [use your palm with an open hand, not a fist]

Sounded like Fonzie hitting the jukebox.......

I worked a treat. Thankyou guru of the bonnet release!

just turn the the thing that looks like a spring maybe 1/2-1 full turn. I did it worked fine now for 6 months. They can just get a bit loose sometimes...

Or if all this seems to hard for you then you could just leave it? Lol if its not causing a major problem just leave it.
Just make sure when you wana check your oil and water that someone can give you a hand opening the bonnet.
