    Sagging bonnet gas struts replaced yesterday.

    A happy bonnet is one that stays up and does not bonk you on the head! That said I replaced my sagging bonnet gas struts yesterday with new ones sourced from The Gas Strut Guys in Victoria for the princely sum of $29.95 the pair including postal delivery. They work a treat and come with a 12 month guarantee. I am now a happy chappy

    Regassed mine last year as Nissan struts are only one of the few that can be regassed. It was quite cheap but can't remember exact price and only took a few minutes at local place.
