Boot strut failure please help!

[Richardwellsy]

Opened my boot yesterday and heard a clatter and then the boot went really heavy. So the struts have failed. Any idea where i can get replacements? Has anyone replaced them themselves and is it that hard to do?

Any advice would be much appreciated

Hi bro, I bought some from fleabay , they were poland or somewhere, a reputable brand about £50 the pair delivered irrc. Been fine for 2 years +.
ps. if it went all of a sudden , it could just be that one of the little ball joint ends could have snapped which are removable . Its best to have a look before buying owt .
