Thread: D1 bonnet catch picture request

HTH

Ah awesome!! Thanks pop058....that explains things perfectly.

Stumps,
Mine did look like yours and it became near impossible to get bonnet open. I've since binned that made my own out of flat steel thats slightly thicker.
No ore issues, until the other day I broke the plastic end off bonnet pull.

Looks like someone has tried to steal your Disco, using a crowbar to jemmy the bonnet open, Regards Frank.

Hi Rez, Yep mine was getting like that too. All is sweet now once I got to see the correct shape and 4 hours of cursing etc to get alignment right.

Thanks Frank...I never thought of that ...you could be right. I have not had the car long. All reshaped and working nice now.
