I haven't had the problem again - so far - problem is my dealer is 70 miles away, so just popping in past isn't really an option. I have to say that what BARON said about "dropping the bonnet" is plausible. When I 1st collected my car that's exactly what my dealer told me you were supposed to do! I now also check the corners by just giving them a quick pull though! Just to be on the safe side Whistle 2013 Discovery HSE Luxury - 3.0 SDV6 - Santorini Black

Germany 2006 Range Rover Sport TDV6 SE Cairns Blue

My bonnet "lifts" when an Artic passes in the opposite direction. My dealer has made the catches really tight and it still lifts a little. It also wobbles a bit when you are tailgaiting (oops, sorry, I meant, encouraging someone that is in the outside lane and doing under 100mph to speed up or check his rear view mirror) whilst you are in the dirty air-stream. Once you manage to maintain a distance of around 50cm from the aforementioned rear bumper, you hit a dead air spot and the bonnet stops wobbling. Shocked
