A good price too... Suspect one of mine has gone too judging by the large bump on my head..lol ...
Just curious - should the gas struts on the R230 actually lift the boot lid to the open position (as on eg the E Class) or merely hold the lid in the open position once raised manually? Seems more likely the latter given the weight of the assembly but would be useful to know if my struts are working or not.
Thats the question....it would be better if the struts actually opened the boot..but dos it all the way up ?
Yes I have sent you an Email for PayPal please, , I still had 2 old ones and with a hard push you can just push the faulty ones in a touch so easy to find which one, as earlier, its easier not to take the circlips right off, just put a little screwdriver under them and lever them back so still on the ball of the strut.
You will need a long piece of wood or someone holding the boot open though I do it without
Strut received and fitted. Many thanks.
One of the old struts was leaking fluid quite badly, so that is the one I replaced.
Certainly has helped, but i might replace the other strut too at some point.
No worries, thanks. It arrived before our holiday which is the main thing. I was developing massive biceps lifting the boot lid as it was, and so was SWMBO.
I wonder why you collect 20s ? I collect 50s and 5s. How strange.
