To make life easier when removing the battery I always put the bonnet in the straight up vertical position.

That worked fine until I wanted to lower it down again and the strut was stuck. In removing the bottom retaining clip, it broke. The strut itself needs replacing as well.

All the new struts on Fleabay come without the retaining clips.

Does anybody know a supplier who can supply the strut with the clips or where you can source the clips.

Don't really want to go to MB, but might have to.

Thanks

Worth checking with your local MB if the strut comes with clips or if they can be bought separately. They may give you the part number.
 
The mercedes one comes with the clips at £46 inc VAT. Cannot buy clips on their own.

My local dealer is over 20 miles away, and they won't post the item out, which is why I was hoping to buy online.
 
Used (working) one off eBay?

MB of Newcastle trades on eBay and will mail parts: mercedesbenzofnewcastle.
Contact them and they will give you a quote.
 
Update:

Big thank you to Mercedes Benz Newcastle.

Responded very quickly to my email, price included free delivery and was shipped very quickly.

An excellent way to buy genuine parts especially if your nearest dealer is not too close.
