It has just hit my head, and I am not amused! Are the hydraulic struts available, or is there some alternative means of holding the bonnet securely open?
Every other car I have owned has had a movable strut to hold the bonnet, which tucks into the slam panel when not in use.
Any suggestions?
Short (possibly long) term solution, just wedge it in...
