Does anyone have the part number for the orange plastic bit in the front wing that the end of bonnet strut goes into when the bonnet is up? Mine has disintegrated and finally fell off yesterday.  My dealer can only find the one on the bonnet that holds the strut in its storage position.

 

Even better, is there anywhere on-line who can sell me the part?

 

I'm guessing its a couple of quid part, and 30 seconds to clip it in.

 

Thanks in advance!

Sorry, its an Octavia 2 FL if that makes any difference.

Ours snapped the other night too, guess the cold weather aint great for them and the screen wash filling more often has taken its toll

Just ordered one, mine broke a few months ago too.

Got one very cheaply a few weeks ago at trade parts supplies

Had to replace mine recently to, only £1 something from TPS. But it is yellow rather than orange. Anyone else found the same with their replacement?

sure my replacement from tps was orange - put bonnet lifter on at same time so now dont use the stay but left it on as a secondary - Bought the gas lifter through this forum it works a treat.

Tried my local TPS but they will only deal with garages :(

TPS tend to want to deal with the trade - I am a taxi driver and get quite a good discount for that reason - either get a taxi driver pal to get you one or ask your local garage/mechanic .

Hopefully a new one will solve my issue too -- the strut just won't stay clipped into the clip. Every time I open the bonnet on the estate the damn strut is dangling free of the clip -- one of the reasons I tried the gas ram method. Unfortunately that didn't work out, so I'm back to using a useless orange clip again.......

I put a little piece of elastic (fabric type, but similar idea to elastic band) around the two "splay" ends to hold the strut in the holder. Works a treat.
