Discovery 1 1995 V8 bonnet hood popping out…!

Hello guys,

Discovery 1 bonnet hood is popping out time to time. Once it is closed it is fine but suddenly it pops out, it doesn’t happen all the time but it is unpredictable. I have check the locked and sprayed WD40 nothing unusual is observed. Is this common in D1’s ? Or any one had this problem and managed to fix it ?

Thanks Arshad

If the bonnet lock is free then the cable is probably rusty/sticking and not returning completely and leaving lock only just engaging. Release from lock and make sure it's free to move easily.

When it’s locked it doesn’t come out even if it’s a bumpy ride / off-road it doesn’t comes out. As I said it is unpredictable never know when it will decide to pop out

I can sprayed WD40 to the lock and ensured all moving parts are intact. What exactly I should be checking in the lock?

Thanks
Arshard

Lube the whole cable.
