Oh no, not joking! For the last 5 years it has had a pole as bonnet strut.... however, the car hasn't been on the road for 5 years, being stationary in the barn whilst waiting for repairs, so hasn't been a problem.

Looking forward to having a proper one now with the Lesjofors fitted!

Well, I have to say - I ordered one of the Lesjofors struts late on the 31st December and was pleasantly surprised when it was delivered yesterday morning.

Excellent service and excellent piece of kit too and already fitted! Very happy to be able to ditch my bonnet 'pole'.
