Front bonnet not aligned and this is very annoying

[frenchfries]

That misalignment will cause a lack of sleep soon. All I can see are 2 bolts inside but nor sure what needs doing

Just loosen the bolts shown slightly so the bonnet just moves and you will be able to adjust it, nip them back up when done

I found this out after the car went to Volvo, they always tried to force the bonnet closed misaligning it.

Yes, as Espada says - just loosen the bolts slightly and move the bonnet back up the hinge. You can see in your photo the marks on the hinges where the bolts were - Just bear in mind the bonnet is quite heavy!

I would guess that what has happened is that when the car was at the garage they opened the bonnet to its fully open service setting. Useful for access but it puts the bonnet almost vertical and it is so heavy it tends to drop. I only ever did this once on a 480 and learnt this the hard way: once I had realigned it I never opened it further than the usual setting again.

Hope that helps!
