Bonnet Lock

Could I have some recommendations on how to secure my bonnet please? Mine does not have any form of lock or even bonnet release. Pics if possible.

Bonnet pins or aero catches?
Don't think I've got any pics but ill have a look.

have these on mine

Is this of any help?

Hi, sorry, I should have been clearer. I already have two of those and the bonnet has a slam lock in the centre.

What I meant is that there is no way of physically locking it - I would like some sort of push lock with a key. I don't want a release inside.

ahhhh i see!!! didnt the early 90 and 110 slam panels have a lock on them?!

Replace the barrel, you need to be careful as extension needs keeping for New barrel

I don't have a barrel of any form of lock. It's ex-mod so I guess they don't bother.

I would be interested to, I have an ex-mod azwell.

A lockable pin from the slam of so up through the dash might work, with suitable reinforcement

Have a pursue at this thread - I think this is what you mean.

Cheers, I can see how it works now. I don't have a hole for the lock though. It looks like the look fits into threaded hole. I'll have a closer look.

The other week when I went shopping (unusual for me) and when I returned to the Landy, it had a mate around:



Rather tasty series. I was well impressed with the padlock arrangement on the bonnet - nice and simple. Don't know if this is standard (optional) fit for a series or not but it suits it. Don't think it would work for the defender with the grill though.

Hmm I reckon something could be adapted though. I like that simplicity

something like this could probably be adapted no?

The hole isn't threaded from memory, it is on a large but and possibly slotted hole in panel

I've just been out and snapped mine. Mind you, I don't have a key, so it's not much use. Don't think there's a big demand for the 2.5D anyway!
