Bonnet Catch/Latch was created by MikeB
Very new to Jimmy's love mine to bits opened the bonnet the day before MOT check oil water and the rest went to close the bonnet and now can get it to lock as the small spring at the bottom has snapped, therefore I can not close the bonnet meaning an MOT failure everything else fine, She is a 2007 hard top not sure if that makes a difference to the part any help or advice gratefully taken oh and I live in sunny North Wales

First try and push the cable handle back in at the glovebox end. It may just be a stiff cable.

Of course he means "under the steering column" on a 2007 ;)

The latch is "handed" for RHD and LHD cars. As the cable moved from the Glovebox to under the steering on the 2007 models I wonder (BUT I DO NOT KNOW FOR SURE) if the latch changes around as it has effectively moved sides in the car??

I have just sold our later model Jimny so cannot pop outside and look :(

Thanks Martin, I missed the 07 bit. I may not have one if the catch is different on the vvt models
