Fitment questions
Do Mazda 323 bonnets have struts, or do they use a prop rod?
The Mazda 323 uses a bonnet prop rod rather than gas struts to hold the bonnet open, so there is no bonnet strut to source for this vehicle. If your bonnet is not staying up, you are most likely looking for a replacement bonnet prop rod or the clip and holder that retains it. Speak to a breaker about sourcing the prop rod assembly for your specific generation.
I've been searching for a Mazda 323 bonnet strut but can't find one - am I looking for the wrong part?
Yes, almost certainly - the Mazda 323 across all of its UK generations used a manual prop rod to support the bonnet, not gas struts. Bonnet gas struts are typically found on larger or more premium vehicles, and Mazda did not fit them to the 323. You should search instead for a bonnet stay rod or bonnet prop for your generation of 323.
What should I actually ask a breaker for if my Mazda 323 bonnet won't stay up?
Ask the breaker for a bonnet prop rod, bonnet stay, or bonnet support rod for your specific generation of Mazda 323 - give them your registration so they can confirm the correct part. The prop rod locates into a hole in the bonnet and clips into a holder on the inner wing or slam panel, and either the rod itself or its retaining clip is usually the failed component. A good breaker will be able to advise which piece you actually need.
Could any special or turbocharged version of the Mazda 323 have bonnet struts instead of a prop rod?
No variant of the UK Mazda 323, including the turbocharged 323F GTX and four-wheel-drive Familia/323 4WD derivatives, was fitted with bonnet gas struts as standard - all used a prop rod arrangement. There is no engine, drivetrain, or trim variant of this model for which a bonnet strut is the correct part to source. If a previous owner has retrofitted struts, that would be a non-standard modification and parts would not be available through normal dismantler channels.
