Not really, if you had one let go like I had and needed to fix the BX to proceed.Defender110 wrote:Bit of a waste on it's own!
After all, balance is given by the spheres which should be replaced in pairs. .

Re: NOS front strut.
Paid £200 (plus VAT and P&P) for my pair of near-as-dammit new ones. Fit them in a few days time, if all goes to plan! £250 for one seems a bit steep but, as an optimistic seller might say: 'find me another'....

Re: NOS front strut.
I note it is from my local Dealer hahaha.....only 4 miles away.
I will not buy anything from them at all, complete bunch of idiots. If you don't give us the entire VIN No we won't boot the computer to look up a part - Citroen unique ID not good enough for them, etc etc. Probably the worst dealers I have ever run into. It would not surprise me if it is a Xantia strut or something else, they would not know. I cannot recommend dealing with them in any way possible. They also ripped me off £60 for a rear light and refused to refund, as could not get correct tint light etc etc. Maybe I should have gone to the Small Claims Court but what a hassle.
My advice, do not deal with them, simple as that. The strut can always be sent to Citroen UK and re distributed to a half decent dealer. Pretty rare for me to feel quite so strongly about a dealer or w/shop most of whom are good or at least competent.
I actually drive quite a bit further to get genuine bits - like Front Strut returns etc to avoid using these idiots.

Re: NOS front strut.
I'm pretty sure I bought 2 pairs of front genuine discs from them recently on eBay - they accepted a much lower offer and it all worked out ok - eBay's pretty watertight now when buying using paypal..

Re: NOS front strut.
Looks like they'll come down alot - as I put a cheeky offer in and got a counter offer back... I don't actually need it as I have a pair of s/h spares but I'm happy to share the counter offer with anyone.. not sure if it's fair to make it public though so PM me!?
