Volvo 440 G reg. Have just been attacked by the rear bootlid of my 440. The
struts don't seem to be very efficient now that the cold weather is here.
Any ideas on available cost of a replacement/new pair and the postage please
folks? What is available? Where should I look for a decent pair?

Scrap yard. Take one of the old ones with you and just compare with the
struts on other cars until you find a pair that's a close match.

Last time I did this, it cost me a fiver.

But note they come in different pressures for the same size. It should be
marked on them.

GSF, eurocarparts or most exhaust factors sell them
 
Thanks folks - found those firms, will try local scrapyards first but then
their struts might be as bad as mine! Long length of wood now in place for
this weekend.
 
I've recently fixed a killer bonnet on my E28.
One puff of wind and something heavier than my citroen ax
used to land on my head!!
