    Bonnet Struts

    Hello eveyone, just a quick question (GU III ZD30). After having my head nearly taken off a couple of times I think I need to do something about the support struts for the bonnet. Sometimes the bonnet will stay up then suddenly just collapse. My question is this, can I repair/regas the struts or do I need to replace them?

    Cheers

    Phil

    I just bought a pair from the Gasstrutguys in Melbourne on Ebay for $28.00 + postage, so at that price, why bother recharging the old ones.
    The new ones came with the fittings as well and have a warranty. They are good unit and work well.

    Cheers
