Default Bonnet lift supports

Are the S-Type supports an exclusive size? I am finding them at the local parts houses to be $110.00 each.

Try e-bay---a pair for $65 shipped and lifetime warranty.

As already said, plus, take one into the general parts guys, and ask for "2 of these please", and leave Jaguar out of the conversation. All teh manufacturers have a size chart in the rear of the catalogues, just getting someone active enough to look beyond the listings will mostly yield results.

I use Honda Accord tailgate struts on the Xj-S bonnets (hoods). About 1" longer, so more room under the thing, and they hold it up sweet. There is ALWAYS an alternative, just think outside the box a little, and generally your wallet will be less empty.
