I have stolen the below pic from another thread I was reading as I am at work just now and my bonnet is sitting the way this one is and I can't find any reason for it.

Bonnet sits higher on the passenger side, was at the same height as drivers side before. Bonnet is on lifters.

Any help appreciated

Have you any pictures of you car?

Could be that the rubber bungs need winding in or out, maybe it's been in a crash and the slam panel is lower at one end than the other, or maybe the bonnets twisted i.e at the hinges.

it's the lifters, the push it up a little when closed.

cool, I didn't mean anything by using your pic (ie: anything being wrong with your bonnet) it just looks very similar to the way mine sits when fully closed

If the rubber bits dont help try bending the bonnet, sounds harsh but mine is bent too and i only fixed it by bending the bonnet.
