Well done Lizzie do you know if the boot struts are the same model as the bonnet ones.My front ones are on the way out and the boot ones are not much better.

When I bought new struts for my estate tailgate #-&^$% years ago, they were cheaper than the saloon ones! I suspect that's because they're a length that's usable in other general applications - they were aftermarket.


This sort of gas spring is so cheap it isn't worth not replacing them.

The difference for preand post facelift will be to allow for the differences between the two bootlids whereas ALL estates use the same struts because there's no difference between the tailgates.

I have an inkling that the FL bonnet struts are different to PFL/MFL ones as well, due to extra bonnet weight.

There's probably another 5 kg of weight, but it's right at the far end so there's a bit of leverage there.
