Came to fill up my washer bottle this morning and found that the bonnet wouldn't shut properly - seems that the mechanism has corroded and was jammed open. Tried to get it off but a bolt was spinning and not coming out (only held in by 2). So coated it liberally with PTFE coated oil stuff and manually worked it until it was freer. It is probably one of the most exposed bits in the engine bay.
5mins lubing it before it happens will possibly save somebody some pain further down the line (there wasn't any obvious overspray from a previous service having lubed it).
