Hello, recently filled up my coolant. When I’ve come to close the bonnet it won’t acknowledge it’s closed, even tho it is. Central locking won’t work because of this fault. Can anyone help? Thanks

It would help to know what year the vehicle is.

The bonnet sensor is in the latch assembly. It's not uncommon for the connector to corrode, or the sensor its self to fail.

Ok thanks, is this something I can change my myself or would be better at a garage?

I had the same issue on my D3. Mine was the electrical connection had come adrift, so just needed cleaning and pushing back on.

I can't imagine it's too difficult to sort yourself, if you're good with your hands.
