Bonnet Catch Adjustment

Looking at my D3 sideways on, the gap between the bonnet and wings is wider at the front than at the back, suggesting that the bonnet catches are set too high and need moving downwards. The question is how can I do this? - there seems to be no obvious means of adjustment. Thanks, Mike M.

On the front of the under bonnet area are two rubber stoppers that can be screwed in or out to adjust the front of the hood up or down.

The bonnet catches are adjustable in their position. You will have to adjust the rubber buffers in conjunction. If you only adjust the buffers, the bonnet will either be loose and will flap, or will be too high and wont latch properly.

My bonnet wasn't hitting the bonnet catch properly on one side, so the bonnet wasn't level when shut. Adjusting the rubber stop sorted this.

Bonnet Latch alignment adjustment

Looking at the previous comments, I appear to have the same problem. The offside latch isn’t engaging. What tool(s) are required to fix this?

Could be my first Disco3 repair. [/quote]
