Shocked
No pun intended- but got a quote from Nissan for a pair of bonnet “struts” (aka shocks); I’m shocked at the prices-see attached
1. Are the LHS one diffeeent to the RHS shock?
2. The price is almost R1500......EACH!!! I can import a pair for less than R500
Will also be importing a bonnet- and headlight guards. Any one wants to add to the order? We can share the shipping costs

Re: Shocked
Jip, just ask for 4141 shocks and your bonnet will open properly this time.

Re: Shocked
Not surprised.
The lifts for our little hyundai i10 boot are buggered - hyundai quoted close to R2k each!
Ive been struggling to get aftermarket ones that work though, Midas keep supplying me with ones that are far too weak. Ive actually given up on going backwards and forwards to Midas now.

Re: Shocked
Jacques I see that you are in Durbanville, Mcnaughtans can't be too far from you (http://mcnaughtans.co.za/gas_stays_stru ... ralia.html). I bought a pair from them in March, really nice quality and price is good. See the quote from them attached...
