Hi Other Dalek,

As B.B. says! Hoof alignment can be a cause.

If the hood latch and receiver align, maybe try some lubricant to free that latch? With latch receiver stuck so that the spring and assembly do not move freely, like on Volvo 240 hood hinges, start with a light lube, that does not attack paint, and work the assemblies at the hood and in the cross member.

I forgot how the bits operate together on your 700. Sorry.

To the FAQ!

Lube all them latches and hinges! More often if your Volvo resides outdoors!

I clean the hinge / latch bits and use spray or tub white lithium grease. Some will use a clear grease. A recurring service item!
