Default Tailgate struts

For years I’ve had the tailgate on my S1 falling on my head as the gas struts were knackered. Put up with it for the amount of time I actually use the car, but when the boot lid fell on my head last week – that was the final straw ! Only went to the car to check she was OK during winter storage, so decided enough was enough. I did enquire about buying some a while ago and Ford wanted something daft like £70 + VAT per side, so that idea got told to foxtrot oscar, but I’ve found a place that sells replacement stuts at sensible money, hence this post as I can’t be the only one and others may well b ein the same boat.
Firm are called GS Engineering and are based in Derby

They’re nothing to do with me and this isn’t a for sale post before anyone starts thinking along those lines – I’ve had really good service from them, the cost was good (£38.51 all in, delivered) and thought this may help others ! They do applications for just about anything by all accounts, so worth a call if you need anything along these lines.
