2006 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Buckingham Blue

Scary moment!

Doing 110 (kmh) down dual carriageway when suddenly drivers side of the bonnet flipped up and started waving around. No indication of the dash at all previous to this and only the drivers side catch had come undone. Passenger side still secure.

checked it over slammed it shut and was OK the rest of the journey home but still a heart stopping moment.

Was there some other reports of this a while back cannot find anything on search

Need to make sure both catches engaged - whenever someone has the bonnet open - has happened to me a couple of time but nothing along the lines of the bonnet coming up

Even when I pulled over stopped to close it the dash showed nothing.

switched it off and then back on still nothing.

wondered if sensor is only on 1 side passenger
