I'll add you mate. Forgot to say that I don't do the heat shrinked version now as the heat shrink caused too many problems. Option 1 is really easy to put together yourself, but if you specifically want the made up option 2, you will have to send me your old struts back once you've changed them over.
Up to you

Ok, I watched the vid and it seems easy enough (hopefully even I can do it can hear Jeremy Clarkson in the background "I mean, how hard can it be?" )
So option 1 then.

Also do you send it normal Royal Mail or recorded (aka delivery confirmation)?

When the boot lid closes, the heat shrink was getting trapped between the coils of the spring. This wouldn't allow the spring to compress enough, so the ball and cup fittings on the struts popped apart. Most people have painted their springs either black to match the struts, or body coloured to match their car.

It is easy, honestly, you'll manage it I'm sure
I send them normal Royal Mail, with a postal receipt. The only one not to make it to its destination was one I sent to Croatia

When it's my turn, can you please add a bit more to the £30 cost for Recorded Signed For (think it's £0.95 extra). My mail man sometimes leave large packages "with the neighbour" never to be seen again.
