bonnet strut on the way out?
« on: November 09, 2016, 04:49:16 pm »
The other day when it was nippy it wouldn't keep the bonnet up but today it does....
Any ideas of how much they are if I need to replace?

Thanks for that link.

I'd deffo get the proper one like in the link. I bought a spurious one from my local motor factors for €20 cos it was €40 from my local stealers.

The spurious one is manufactured by monroe so I figured it would be good.

Boy was I wrong. It's crap! I've just bought another one from the link above!!
