Aftermarket ones are circa $70 each from supercheap (order in) - don't quote me on the price, it was some time ago I did mine. I saved my old ones for next time when I might be able to get them regassed... not sure where it can be done but a quick google search throws up a number of websites that offer it. Struts.com.au - Gas Struts - Repairs and Re-gassing this place seems to do it around melbourne.

Let us know how you go and what they charge to regas!

Cheers,
Rob

stewmair,

Not a bonnet gas strut but I had to replace a rear boot lid gas strut. I chased around for an after market one but ended up ringing my local LR dealer and got it for something like $70, about the same as the after market ones I had sourced.

Might be worth contacting LR or at least an OEM supplier for a price.

From recollection a regas eas not really an option.

MLR didn't reply to my email enquiry. It seems $70 will get you two from the old dart. Have emailed the regassers. Northcote is difficult.
