cheers for that

ps mine was made in germany

managed to source some struts for a total of 99pence, come complete with bottom arms, springs and dampers x 2

Only problem is they are in darlington so a nice 214 mile round trip

Good thing is as I work for the dhl group I can get them shipped to me and put it #cough ahem# through the books
