Fitment questions
Does the Nissan Primera actually have bonnet struts, or does it use a bonnet stay rod?
The Nissan Primera uses a traditional bonnet stay rod (a metal prop rod that you manually clip into place to hold the bonnet open) rather than gas-pressurised bonnet struts. If your bonnet isn't staying up, the part you're likely looking for is a bonnet stay rod and its mounting clip or bracket, not a strut. Search for 'Nissan Primera bonnet stay' or 'bonnet prop rod' when getting quotes from breakers.
What's the difference between the P11 and P12 Nissan Primera, and does it affect the bonnet stay rod?
The P11 Primera covers roughly 1996 to 2002, and the P12 is the later generation running from 2002 to 2008 when the model was discontinued in the UK. The bonnet, front-end panels and associated stay rod hardware differ between these two generations, so a P11 stay rod will not be the correct part for a P12 and vice versa. Always confirm the generation with your breaker using your registration number.
Will a bonnet stay rod from a pre-facelift P11 Primera fit a facelift P11?
The P11 Primera received a facelift around 1999, which brought changes to the front-end styling including lights and grille. Whether the bonnet panel and its stay rod mounting points changed across that facelift boundary is something you should confirm directly with the breaker against your specific registration, as this is not something we can state with certainty. Quote your reg to the breaker so they can cross-reference from their dismantled stock.
Does the trim level affect which bonnet stay rod I need — for example, does a Primera S need a different part to an SE or SRi?
Trim level does not affect the bonnet stay rod — the bonnet and its prop rod are shared across trim variants within the same generation, whether you have a base S, a mid-range SE, or a sportier SRi. You may find minor cosmetic differences on the bonnet itself between standard and sportier trims, but the stay rod mechanism is the same. Simply match the generation (P11 or P12) and confirm with your breaker using your registration.
I have a 2004 Nissan Primera — which generation is that, and what should I tell the breaker?
A 2004 Nissan Primera is a P12, the generation that ran from 2002 through to around 2008. Tell the breaker it's a P12 Primera and give them your full registration number so they can verify the exact spec. You're looking for the bonnet stay rod (prop rod), not a gas strut, as the Primera does not use a strut-type bonnet support system.
Can I use a bonnet stay rod from a Nissan Primera estate on a saloon or hatchback?
Within the same generation, front-end components including the bonnet and its stay rod are generally shared across body styles, as the front structure is common regardless of whether the car is a saloon, hatchback, or estate. However, you should confirm this with the breaker against both registrations, as there can be subtle differences in panel mounting. Giving the breaker the reg of both the donor and your own vehicle is always the safest approach.
