on it like a car bonnet

To be all over something, having it under control.

Some say it is derived from Essex girls famed love of sex on a car bonnet, others from the female models at car trade shows that lay on car bonnets. (NB: UK Car Bonnet = US Car Hood)

To be "On it like a car bonnet" means you are literally all over something, like an (Essex) girl on a car bonnet"

"Are you looking at this problem?"

"Yeah, I'm on it like a car bonnet"
