Car is needed over the busy Christmas period though, so it’ll have to do for now.

Thanks again to all who have posted with help and tips.

Loosen the latch bolts off a little and they will probably be fine.

Hi Tom.
As above did you try adjusting the latches with the 8mm bolts either side you only need to undo them a tiny little, until you get the required smooth movement of the half moon.

Yes, I have since loosened them off a little more and the bonnet latch feels a lot more trustworthy. Hopefully that’s the end of the issue for now.
