Parts arrived, took the old ones out and replaced with new ones with the help of a little silicone spray...
The old ones were completely disintegrated, one had no bottom to it and the spring was missing and the other, the bottom had corroded off but the sprint was still attached. No wonder the bonnet didn't pop! It does now.
I think I shall get two of these for the boot too. My boot ones don't have the centre piston. They're just rubber stoppers. The boot pops a little but would pop a lot more with these...so going to order two more.
Thanks again. Nice to be able to get my fingers under the bonnet to open it now
