Hi Western, thank you for the link but it only had 130 pages? I think I have seen the page you mean but it only shows what the arm looks like and the fittings it uses, i need to see where it fits on the wing, i have tried where I think but it would be in the way of the expansion tank for the radiator when the bonnet shuts? as I said their was never one under the bonnet and the only obvious fixin point i can see is on the bonnet, i need the location of the bottom on the wing?, front panel?, etc Cheers Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmgemini Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Nip into your Land Rover dealer and buy the latest {Wolf } bonnet stay. It's much better than the scissors thing and is easier to use with a bonnet mounted spare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 this is the XD/Wolf bonnet stay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
