Open bonnet!

Hi, Opened my bonnet on my D3 today to top up screenwash and it keeps saying open bonnet on the info display on dash, even though the bonnet is well and truly shut. Also because of this, every time I plip to lock, the horn sounds, presumably it thinks it's open. Any ideas or help?

Thanks

Jamie.

Faulty or sticky bonnet switch - replace, clean/lubricate/adjust or (for the time being) bypass with a paperclip.

Mine does the same unless I drop it from a height! I find that by pressing down on the appropriate bit of the bonnet over the catch (which appears fully shut) I hear a click and the problem is solved... Suppose I'll get around to adjusting it eventually! Rolling Eyes
