Renault Grand Scenic Boot Struts

[qwerty321]

The gas struts on my Dads car boot seemed to have stopped working and don't keep the boot open.

Looking to get them replaced and local mechanic has said £60 for two, for parts only.

Seen some sites online selling them around £15 each. Anyone got any reliable sites where we can buy them from? Required sooner rather than later.

Cheers.

Edit: Its an 05 plate and I believe it's a fixed rear window.

It may sound obvious that you need to buy the right ones , you need to make sure they are not only the right length but also the right strength , or you may find the boot hard to close and open , they take minutes to fit so I wouldn't be paying someone to do it ....

Not really looked into the fitting but if its easy then we should manage. Just looking for the parts at the moment.

You can tell from an ebay seller's feedback if they are okay or not. That would be my first port of call, new or used.
