Fitment questions
Does the Nissan Primastar actually have a bonnet strut, or does it use a bonnet prop rod?
The Nissan Primastar (built on the Renault Traffic / Opel Vivaro platform, sold in the UK from around 2002 to 2014) does not use gas-assisted bonnet struts - the bonnet is held open by a metal prop rod that clips into a holder on the engine bay side. There is no bonnet strut on any variant of the Primastar, regardless of engine, roof height or wheelbase. If your bonnet is not staying up, you are most likely looking for a replacement bonnet prop rod, not a strut.
I searched for a bonnet strut for my Primastar but can't find one - am I searching for the wrong part?
Yes, almost certainly - the Primastar uses a simple metal prop rod rather than a gas strut to support the open bonnet, so you won't find a bonnet strut listed for this vehicle because none was ever fitted. The part you need is a bonnet prop rod, sometimes listed by breakers as a bonnet stay or bonnet support rod. Search for that term when requesting quotes from dismantlers on Findapart.
Could my 2008 Primastar have a bonnet strut if it has a different engine or trim level?
No - the bonnet support mechanism on the Primastar is the same across all engine options and trim levels throughout the entire production run; it is always a prop rod design with no gas strut involved. Engine choice, trim grade and body length make no difference here. The part you need to source is a bonnet prop rod.
What is the difference between a bonnet strut and a bonnet prop rod, and which one does the Primastar use?
A bonnet strut is a pressurised gas-filled cylinder that automatically holds the bonnet open when raised, commonly found on cars; a bonnet prop rod is a simple metal stay that you manually clip into position to hold the bonnet up. The Primastar uses the prop rod design, so if yours is bent, missing or broken, ask breakers specifically for a Primastar bonnet prop rod or bonnet stay.
