Piece of piss to fit.

the kit contains the hydrolic rams,power motor,wiring loom with switch.

Just a matter of swapping your struts for the hydrolic ones,mount the pump in the boot,left hand side, feed loom through with the switch on,wire up live and earth.

i ahave done this fitting rams is easy but you need to change ball joint parts that the rams fit too (ford sell them ) wiring loom not too bad to fit worse part is getting it in correct connections under dash as it goes all the way to the battery and ignition.
i do have a wiring diagram if you need it.
thanks
