Hi Brian - welcome to the list!
As for the right side of your bonnet, I believe that the bonnet can be
adjusted from the front. I've never done this, but I think other
listers have. Off the top of my head, I think you have to take off the
bumper, or at least the overriders. I'm sure someone will correct me if
I'm wrong....
But the left side I think I can help you with - just grease it up nicely
and you should find it stays shut!
Hope that helps
