Hello everyone.

New to the forum. Got myself a 2013 LR4 yesterday having have Alfa Romeo for years alongside the usual German guff for a company car. I've also a couple of motorbikes and average handy with tinkering / getting my hands dirty.

Anyhoo, I'm having a problem with getting the bonnet to latch on the passenger side. Driver side is fine and the safety latch also. The passenger side does work as if tested it with a screwdriver and it locks but when the bitten goes down it's like it doesn't quite reach, or the ubolt runs out of length.

I've taken off the latch and given it a good clean but i think it works fine. I've adjusted it up and down and side to side (was getting desperate) but no joy.

What should I do. Seems such a simple thing and it's bugging me I can't fix it. Degrudge paying the stealers to fix it.

Any help appreciated. I've done a load of searches but most relate to the lever and cables which are all find and working.
Cheers folks!

 

Have you removed the front grill to get a better look at to why it's not catching.
I have seen where the hood striker gets bent sometime, and needs to be adjusted (I do think there is an adjustment).
