Noisy bonnet!

[Rachey]

Hi!

My Dad had the engine out over the summer to overhaul it after it went round the clock and improve acceleration, but ever since the bonnet has vibrated noisily when stationary, it's doing my head in! Any suggestions? It's a 1995 sprite.

Thanks!

yep you can usaully adjust the spring catch on the bonnet to hold it down i little better:) hope that helps
Cheers Deano

Is it a loose behind the Wheel? (Joke)
It often happens after taking bonnet off.
It's usually a slight adjustment is needed here and there. Or maybe something hasn't been put back as low as it should (air filter) If it still doesitby the time the 6th Dec bring it up to the Red Lion and one of us:) will sort it for you

I thought it would be something simple like that. but I don't want my Dad doing it again - every time he's done anything recently he's scratched the paint! Grrrr!
Gives me a incentive to come to the meeting doesn't it?!

Not necessarily, just sum1 that knows how 2 use a spanner! 2 min job, i had the same problem! altho i had trouble when i was driving! Think it had somethin 2 do with the useless bonnet scoop trying 2 take my bonnet off!

I recently had this problem, it was cured by fitting the rubber strip back behind the inside the bonnet where the lip for holding the front grille is spot welded on, if that makes sense!
