barney Posted 27 October, 2010 Share Posted 27 October, 2010 My boot on my toyota avensis wont stay open, been quoted £300 for 2 new gas stuts to be fitted. Can obtain a set on internet for £30. Does anybody know if these things are hard to fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ponty Posted 27 October, 2010 Share Posted 27 October, 2010 Piece of cake. You might need a pair of hands to hold the hatch up for you but fitting them is easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent and just push on, just get a mate to hold the boot open. Buy without any worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
