Citroen C3 Bonnet Catch

[Stretham1]

Hello,

 

I wonder if anyone can help, I have a Citroen C3 2005 1.1 model.

 

i have noticed that the bonnet won't shut properly and found that the spring has gone the catch is fine but am finding it had to find a spring for it.

 

its an easy enough job but its just finding the part and to no avail.

 

Many Thanks

Is it the spring on the bonnet itself or the spring in the lock on the slam panel

The Citroen parts diagrams show the latch on the slam panel is available separately but not the part on the bonnet - so it must only be supplied by Citroen as part of the bonnet. So if you need the bonnet spring, the options appear to be one from a scrap car dealer or maybe a spring supplier. On such as ebay - search for a C3 breaking rather than bonnet spring since the latter does not bring up anything.

I find I have to remmeber to push the lever under the glove box back in to place otherwise it won't shut.  No big hardship.

A bit of grease on the cable end and in the latch might sort this. Also check the cable is not fraying and about to snap.
