WD40 and some more moving finally sorted it.
Must have been the bad winter - salt etc.
I had the same the other day and it is only a few weeks since I last had the bonnet up. I am guessing the recent wet weather hasn't helped.

As for being lubricated at service, these days with service intervals at almost 12 months, it's not enough.
