Not really a cosmetic body mod, but i picked up a couple of replacement struts from here: http://www.sgs-engineering.com/pages/home for £36 delivered and fitted them last night. Now the boot opens when you unlock it

Definitely recommend buying some, make the car feel a bit more new.

Yup, got a set off ebay, fitted them myself - all you need is a couple of 13/14mm wrenches, really.

Hi there, i replaced my boot struts on my last puma , from a fiesta from the scrappie cos me a fiver i think! superb buy and now i've got another puma i think i will do the same, it does save u a bit of cash. BTW having them too strong and using them in wet weather is a nitemare as most of us know the water goes straight into the boot !!

come up and see me...make me smile :wink:

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand - strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO -What a Ride!:D

Thanks Owen RW for the SGS website. My struts have stopped lifting properly so I've used SGS to order new struts so I can go back to having a working boot. I'll go back to having to worry about the rain coming in again!
