   Is the bonnet catch stuck in the open position? Not really sure how to make it simpler.
   
   It can't really be much else.

   When you push the lever up to open it after you've pulled the latch from inside the car, is the latch thats attached to the slam panel stuck open so when you try and shut it, its not catching

   The whole mechanism thats attached to the chassis, if its stuck open the bonnets got no chance of shutting
