stupid question I kno

[woobla]

I just got home my mk3.

when I try to close bonnet it wont engage? when I pull it up again it comes up. IS there any special method to close it?.

Also when changing gears revs dont immediately drop down when I take foot off accelerator, they do but it takes like 1 second. is this normal?

[woobla]

Ok I managed to close bonnet lol.
But other question still remains.
