I think 'grease the catches' is one of the instructions in every
level of lubrication service.  Having seen how many people's
cars will pop the bonnet with the slightest upward tug, I'm not
surprised at this.  Note that the A2's bonnet isn't even
opened during routine servicing - I wonder if it's actually
locked.
