Crikey, you shouldn't have to be accepting 'send them back to us and we'll top them up a bit', get a full refund and buy the genuine parts for christs sake. Cowboy outfit by the sound of it..... RRS TDV8 Buck Blue (no, not now in my dreams). ..........D3 TDclankety clankV6 ............BMW 318i

The issue is I gave the spec for the left hand one so was sent two to that spec. It turns out the right hand side one should be more powerful so all should be fine if the right hand side one is more powerful.

The reason I didn't opt for genuine landrover ones is after 2 years they were rusting already so thought I'd try alternatives.

Rust? Mine have been on four years and not a spot of rust anywhere on them. To rust the chrome or paint finished gas been damaged. And to damage the chrome you need to bend the things. 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀
TDV8 Sport HSE...... Gone. Loved it but it didn't love me!!
Now rolling in MY10 Fullfat TDV8 Vogue. Slammed it to go round corners🙈

2010 Range Rover Sport TDV8 Autobiography Santorini Black

Just looking to replace mine, Going off this trhread it seems alot get 2 struts with the lower pressure instead of the rh which has more Nm. So would relplacibg both with 2 struts the same but the RH would this be ok?

Im currently emailing a few sellers on Ebay and they’re quoting 240nm is the pressure so they are not right.

Have a look at the above. I purchased the set from AF and they've been fine to date.

Only issue with them Kilen ones is they’re advertising the same strut for both sides so they can't be to spec which is what i would prefer if Land Rover state RH needs to be stronger.
