2005 Peugeot expert bonnet not shutting

It shuts but only on the safety latch, so failed MOT, I've had a look but any obvious idea of what might be causing it before i start taking off grills etc?
Cheers. Oh and hello everyone.

Re: 2005 Peugeot expert bonnet not shutting

My first suspect would be the cable release/catch not retracting properly when released
You'd probably need a helper to pull the lever in the cab a few times as you watch what happens in the engine bay.
BTW I found the grille easy enough to remove on my Expert, remove 2 top screws and pull.

I checked my oil before going out today and see the lock mechanism is simple to access
no need to even remove the grille
