  1. it should be noted that Jaguar also has specific directions for closing
    the bonnet. Stand in front, grip the grille under the centre lip, and
    raiseFrom: “Dr Gregory Andrachuk”
    it smartly
    -----------------------------

A minor matter, but the hand-book for my Jaguar (XJ12 H.E. - 1986.)
states:-

“To close the bonnet, stand in front of car. Apply light pressure to the
centre of the bonnet panel with one hand and with a rocking action pull on
the centre of the radiator grill with the other.”

This works for me---- but then I am an old ‘rocker’!!

Best wishes,

Alan.

Yes, Alan, you are correct. In other places they omit the mention of the
hand on the bonnet; it is unnecessary unless you are weak, in fact. The
strange thing is, if you are not strong enough (and it does not require any
real strength) to close the bonnet by pulling up at the grille, you are
unlikely to have a reach long enough to help by pushing on the bonnet. And
what of the hand print, and/or the dirt on your hand? The bonnet is balanced
so that a smart tug on the grille will close it firmly. Our friend Jeb has
another technique: he pulls up on the inner headlamp cowling. This works
well too.----- Original Message -----

So scientific!

I just slam the thing. For you pedantic types, call it an “assisted drop.”
Slam the bonnet, shut the boot gently - that’s MY motto. Going around to
the grille is an unnecessary trip. With a bit of practice, you will soon
learn the exact amount of “assist” to provide for reliable latching.

As for hand prints, what about the hand print on the polished grille?
Slamming the bonnet from the side avoids all hand prints.

Just be careful that you haven’t left anything that protrudes UP if you use
the slam, er “assisted drop” method. That possibility IS a point in favor
of the otherwise sissy-looking grille pull approach if you’re the forgetful
type. Not that Gregory is forgetful, of course.

One ADVANTAGE of the “assisted drop” approach is that it looks as if you
are unconcerned about the whole affair - I would think Dwyer would select
it for that reason alone!

PS: Even my 7 year-old is strong enough to use the “assisted drop” method,
though she’s too short to do it unless she climbs up a ladder which is not
recommended due to the possibility of falls.

PPS: I DO use the grille pull if I happen to be AT the grille when I finish
whatever I’m doing that required the bonnet to be opened.--------

Even though I am privileged to have received personal tutoring from Dr A
regarding bonnet closing, I can assure all of no bias. :wink:

I am firmly aligned in the camp of Dr A on this issue. I must say that
Steve’s “assisted drop” methodology sounds more like a “get it moving, get
out of the way, and hope for the best” approach! :slight_smile:

On the other hand, the “grill lift” method allows one to remain in apparent
control throughout, and cannot be matched in its gracefulness of movement.
In fact, properly executed, it brings to mind the strength and fluidity of
the finest ballet dancer, or the most accomplished swordsman.

As for the potential hand print on the polished grill? Easily dispatched
with minor attention with the ever present polishing cloth.

Finger acid on chrome is worse than on paint, Doug, and it seems
incongruous to lift something to make it drop. I stay with the book - in

Steve, Steve ! Be careful ! Let’s not confuse being nonchalant with being
irreverent. Two different things ! :slight_smile:

I’ll continue to use the Andrachuk method. To maintain the requisite Dwyer
aloofness, though, I never break my conversation or even stop puffing my
pipe when shutting the bonnet. Of course, gently leaning on the front fender
afterwards is the piece de resistance, reserved for special occasions.

I do enjoy inviting curious spectators to actually open up and (gasp,
horror) sit in my car. Last time I did that, the contestant next to me
looked on and his jaw swung open like the trap-door of a hangman’s gallows.
TeeHeeHee. What fun, eh ? There are many ways to enjoy a concours !

Alex,
I’m sure that the “grille jerk” approach has gained favor because the S3
cars aren’t built as solidly as the S2 beasts. The “assisted drop” approach
has worked well for long enough that it’s clearly more than “hope for the
best.”

The looks one gets from concours judges when they say it’s OK to close the
bonnet are priceless, despite the fact that the bonnet really isn’t
shutting any harder or less evenly than in the “grille jerk” method. In
actuality, the physics wind up being the same without the acid application
to the grille chrome due to the jerk.

on the list, even S3 owners, are really closet bonnet slammers, I mean
assisted droppers. Anyone else care to come out into public during this
brief amnesty? Perhaps even Gregory or Doug?-----

As I had mentioned, I have a slight variation of Dr. A.s method where I use
the high beam eyebrows to close the bonnet. This gives me a good feel for
the way the bonnet closes.

I have had to adjust and tweak a few of these bonnets over the years and
almost without exception, I can say that it’s from ham-handed closings.

I would never just slam it.

slammed shut.
