I'm pretty fustrated at this point! I have a 2003 Jaguar X-type. My husband opened my hood to jump start his car this morning and now my hood won't close all the way. The bonnet won't close down when I close the hood on it. I sprayed some WD-40 for lubrication, but still no luck! I had my oil changed a few weeks ago, and the same thing happend! But the lube technicians used a screw driver and pushed things around, and somehow they got the bonnet to close down and the hood closed. The hood release seems to be stuck, I pulled the release as far as I could, but it doesn't budge much! PLEASE HELP...my husband just left me with the problem cux he had to go to work this morning at 6am. Thanks a lot!

 

thanks for the help...the springs were part of the problem, i just lowered them! Also, what i did was i pulled on the cable opens the hood; it was stuck...from rust suppose...and that freed the bonnets, now the hood closes perfecttly!
