I am selling a set of bonnet struts for a Qashqai J11A.

They are in perfect working condition, and have been removed from my Qashqai that I have recently sold.

I do not have the fitting instructions, however they are easy to fit, and if you search "bonnet struts" in the search facility on this forum, there are threads of how to fit.

I am asking ยฃ12 for the struts plus ยฃ3 for postage. I will post within the UK only.

I live in East Sussex, so if you are local you can collect in person to save postage costs.

Thanks
Doug

Defintely Worth Buying IMHO one of the better additions to the QQ and at that price also - Dave ๐Ÿ‘

Are these specific to the J11A or is a J11B bonnet and bolts/holes the same as the A?
I would probably use these if the will fit.

Squashy2, just to put your mind at rest I transferred our Struts from our J11A to the J11B without any problems, but there are various makes around. I did have to pump (just stuck them on the floor and pump a few times) the Strut Cylinders to get some pressure in them - no problems since - Dave ๐Ÿ‘

Thanks for that info Dave. They certainly are a huge asset, as the Qashqai bonnet is so heavy! I'm trying to source some struts for my new Juke, but no luck so far. The bonnet is much lighter than the Qashqais, but I think bonnet struts are a good addition.

Squashy2, the comment about Pumping the Struts was no joke. When our Technician tried installing them they would not support the Bonnet, so we took them off. It was then that I remembered the Pumping Trick, so I Stรผck then on the floor gave a few pumps and the Hydraulics worked perfectly, they still do ๐Ÿ˜ - Dave ๐Ÿ˜Š

Understood Dave,
I'll definitely follow that advice prior to fitting ๐Ÿ‘

By the way, Gel, thanks for posting the instruction brief. I think mine didn't include pouring a Beer at the end :shock:
