So long is it is not in the vernacular "See you, Jimmy" (and accompanied with a Glasgow Kiss) I may respond favourably. Mind you, my Grandfather Frederick used to call me Jamie, and I would answer to that from him.

great thread for my next task. thank you.
i didnt realise the glass was separate. wow. off to check if mine does this.

this explains why there are two types of struts for sale then. unfortunately, mine needs the expensive ones. i will ask about re-gassing although mine is 2008 i suspect i will be advised to replace.
