Bonnet catch might need adjusting, happened to mine and a local garage fiddled for 2 minutes to adjust the catch and hey presto.

The spring might be sticking on the cable. Reach into the catch and pull the spring to the left, this might sort it

Happened to mine not so long ago

GEt yourself to a jet wash and clean out the mechanism. Spring and all.
My bonnet was opening onto the latch at speed! not very 'lol' at all i can tell ya. Whilst i was at RCMS they just washed it out and cleaned it all up, and has been fine since.
