Bonnet Stay strut Clip
During yesterdays work, we unclipped the bonnet stays and managed to loose one of the clips that holds the ball joint at the bottom of the stay onto the ball
Don't suppose anyone has a spare clips lying around? - Its like a half moon thing - right fiddly things to get on.

Re: Bonnet Stay strut Clip
I have a spare one somewhere in my wing where I dropped it...but if it ever turns up I'll put it back on the strut !
Lived without mine for over a year now; just have to remember not to touch it whilst I'm under there
Did you put the bonnet into the full vertical position? A great design feature of the car that's fitted on too few vehicles, but was much used on my 1990 Volvo too!

Re: Bonnet Stay strut Clip
That's where one of mine is!
Yes, fully vertical - excellent feature - not used it before - I knew you could do something, but never really looked to see how. Bodsy showed me and it makes working at the back of the engine a dream - I used to take the hole bonnet off when I had the Defender. Climbed onto the engine to lift it out

Re: Bonnet Stay strut Clip
Slightly off topic, but does anyone know where I can get new bonnet struts from without paying main dealer prices?

Though these are tailgate ones, they should be able to sort bonnet ones out. The part number is LR009106 I think.

They are in Romsey.
They do all sorts of goodies mainly for commercial vehicles, including gas struts.

Re: Bonnet Stay strut Clip
Thanks Andy - might as well get them from Steve - just assumed they'd be £100!

Re: Bonnet Stay strut Clip
A very small cable tie will help keep a strut in place until you retrieve your clips.
