Fitment questions

Does the Nissan Terrano actually have bonnet struts, or does it use a bonnet stay rod?

The Nissan Terrano II (the generation sold in the UK from 1993 onwards) uses a simple mechanical stay rod to prop the bonnet open rather than gas-charged bonnet struts. If your bonnet is not staying up, the part you need is a bonnet stay rod and its retaining clip, not a bonnet strut. Search for 'Nissan Terrano bonnet stay rod' when contacting breakers.

My Terrano bonnet won't stay up - what part do I actually need?

Because the Terrano II relies on a manual prop rod rather than gas struts, the component that holds your bonnet open is the stay rod and its mounting bracket or clip. These are simple metal parts and are widely available from breakers who are dismantling Terranos. When you request a quote on Findapart, describe it as a bonnet stay rod or bonnet prop rod so the breaker knows exactly what you need.

Will a bonnet stay rod from an early Terrano II fit a later facelift model?

The Terrano II received a facelift around 1999-2000 which brought changes to the front end including the bonnet panel itself, so whether the stay rod and its attachment points are identical across that boundary is not guaranteed. Confirm with the breaker by providing your registration number so they can check against the exact bonnet and hinge arrangement on their dismantled vehicle. Never assume the part will fit without this check.

Does the trim level affect which bonnet stay rod I need - for example, does a Sport or SE Terrano use a different one?

Trim level does not affect the bonnet stay rod on the Terrano II - the prop rod and its clip are shared across trim variants including Sport and SE because the front-end structure is the same regardless of specification. What may differ cosmetically is the bonnet itself if your vehicle has any bodykit or spoiler additions, but the stay rod mechanism is not trim-dependent. Confirm the model year and facelift period with the breaker rather than worrying about trim level.

Is a bonnet strut from another Nissan model compatible with the Terrano?

The Terrano II does not use bonnet gas struts at all, so fitting a strut from another Nissan model is not a straightforward swap and is not recommended. The Terrano's bonnet is designed around a stay-rod system, so the correct replacement is a like-for-like stay rod. If you believe your vehicle genuinely has gas struts rather than a stay rod, confirm this with a breaker by sharing your registration, as there may be unusual variants or aftermarket modifications involved.
