Is it possible to get the plastic clip that retains the bonnet stay inside the engine bay. Many thanks

Clever Trevor is your man

with a domed tap washer just to the side to stop the bonnet stay moving sideways



As recommended in the Steve Heath Bible

The bonnet stay comes out of the clip (as above) sideways and will then (if allowed to!) scratch the paintwork near the brake servo so I've got a decent rubber band (one of the ones the postmen throw on the pavement) and wrapped it and twisted it round the stay to fasten it roughly then put the flying loop end in tension on top of the clip and that keeps the stay in place. Simple and it does work.

Recall mention of this before, is it XJS ? bonnet or boot ?

Have you fitted some sort of easily removeable pin one end to open bonnet further when required ? .;)
