Rondo Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 2011 1.4 Fiesta Zetec. I opened the bonnet today to do the usual engine checks but Noe can't properly lock it down, it just grabs the first latch but no matter how hard or softly I slam the bonnet down, it won't go all the way to the second lock. I sprayed the lock mechanism with WD40 hoping the magic stuff might do the trick, but nah! To be honest I can't quite figure out how the mechanism actually works to tell if anything looks untoward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobr Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 The lock is probably already locked / closed. You can unlock it with a screwdriver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rondo Posted June 30, 2017 Author Share Posted June 30, 2017 Hi yeah, sorry busy week. In the end I just needed oil and grease. The trouble was I didn't know what the mechanism should look like when it correctly works. Comparing it with someone else's Fiesta I could see that something was obviously sticking, so some Bute force WD40 and grease eventually stopped the sticking 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Bit of force always seems to do the trick 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
