Used Ford Courier Bonnet Strut

No — the Ford Courier (the Transit-based small van sold in the UK from the mid-1990s into the early 2000s) uses a bonnet that is supported by a mechanical prop rod, not a gas strut. There is no bonnet strut fitted to any variant of the Courier, regardless of engine or trim level. If you are struggling to keep the bonnet open, you may actually be looking for the prop rod and its mounting clip, or possibly the bonnet hinge if the bonnet is not sitting or lifting correctly.

The part you need is the bonnet prop rod, a simple metal stay that clips into a holder on the engine bay to hold the bonnet open manually. Breakers will list this as a bonnet stay or bonnet prop rather than a strut. It is a straightforward and inexpensive part, so it is worth contacting a Ford Courier or Transit-based breaker directly and asking for the bonnet prop rod for your year of Courier.

No bonnet strut exists on the Courier, so there is nothing to substitute from another vehicle. The Transit Connect is a completely different, newer platform and its bonnet mechanism is not related to the Courier. If you need the bonnet prop rod for your Courier, stick to sourcing that specific part from a Courier or early Transit-based breaker.

Because the Courier does not have a gas strut, the bonnet staying up relies entirely on the manual prop rod and the small clip or holder that retains it in the raised position. If the bonnet drops, it is almost always the clip or holder that has broken or gone missing, and occasionally the prop rod itself is bent or lost. Ask a breaker for the bonnet prop rod and prop rod clip for the Ford Courier and they should be able to help you.
