I opened my bonnet this morning to fill the washer bottle up, when i closed the bonnet it is snagging on the first inital latch but not closing completely. Any ideas before I take to garage, Suzuki Jimny 2003
I had that issue a short while ago. I just loosened off the catch, adjusted it up a bit and then retightened them. That fixed it for me.

There are two different mechanisms in play here - that first "initial latch" is a separate spring loaded safety catch that is there to stop the bonnet from flying up and blocking your view if the cable operated latch somehow releases (or is released) - from what you describe the cable operated latch is not holding, try pushing the release handle under the dash back, it may be binding, it could also be a lack of lube as has been suggested.
