Thanks Dell - have tried greasing - a photo would help regarding the "bending up of the latch a little" - I can't see how any part of the mechanism could be bent up as it is literally "built like a tank".

What amazes me is how Packards with this hood arrangement ever sold in the first place as you can only work on one side at once and to get the whole thing off to work on the engine you need three guys to lift it off !!

P.S Once I've got to her again possibly next week now - I'll report in again - meanwhile any more ideas on how to progress very welcome.
