    Bonnet gas strut packed it in

    So the gas strut under the bonnet has packed it in. Before replacing with OEM (not too expensive, about $55usd) is there a better aftermarket replacement that can be sourced locally? Anyone else replaced theirs?

    Actually stopped by Supercheap Auto this afternoon and they placed an order for a Monroe replacement for me. $50.98. Not too bad.

    Simple removal of the old one and even easier to install the new one. I never realised how stuffed the old was for so long after installing the new.. Great service and price from Supercheap.
