Boot strut trouble
«

Hi again
I realised over the weekend that my right hand boot strut is leaking fluid. As a result my boot wont stay open as just one strut isn't strong enough to hold it. (As I found out when it bashed me on the head! )
Are these repairable? Or do I need another? Pricing would be great too if anyone knows?
All the best,
Nick

Sounds like the perfect excuse to fit boot poppers!

This happened to my golf when in the south of France, They're only about £25 from VW iirc!
