Hi it never ends does it lol

Thought i had got everything sorted and today the boot will not stay open

Had a quick look on service box and have the following part numbers
00008731J8
1615075980

Not 100% sure which type i need, but guess it is going to need both lol

Ok, I can personally highly recommend SGS Engineering Colin (other suppliers also available ). I used these to replace both struts on my old C5 where the tailgate was knocking me out after walking into it all the time expecting it to lift! A huge improvement.

Note: Always replace in pairs - when one goes the other is sure to follow and not replacing both at the same time will put additional strain on the new one.

Your part number is: 8731J8 and SGS have an exact part here:

Their price is only £15.59 each inc. VAT and includes a 2 year warranty and the new end fixings. £6.99 for next-day delivery unless order is over £50 - but still a huge saving - and they are British made!

Citroen will charge £52.94 each so a no-brainer.
