    Rear Door "Hold-Open" Strut D2

    The flat, articulated metal strut that is meant to hold the rear door open has lost its little spring-leaf component, on my D2. This means that the door is fairly free to swing shut at will, such as in a breeze. With a spare wheel on the back of the door, this can be a bit dangerous.


    Has anyone had this problem and fitted a twist-lock telescopic strut (does not need to be a gas strut) to hold the rear door securely open? If so, can they suggest where to find a suitable strut?


    I recently saw one on a friend's Pajero, and I have to say that it seemed to work well.


    Cheers, AndrewMilne

    I didn't realise that it had any spring to hold the door open. Mine is shot then too.

    Just had a look and a brand new OEM unit is around $200.00 delivered from the UK - ALR9290

    It has a circlip and washer on the pin and 2 10mm bolts hold it to the underside of the door
