Tailgate gas strut recommendations

Hi folks I’m looking at replacing my original main tailgate struts. They’re a bit unhelpful going up and are distinctly overwhelmed when closing. I’ve sent a message to Duckworth parts but are there any recommendations on non genuine parts. 2006 2.7 TDV6 HSE in Cairns Blue.

Hi,
agree with Kev ^ they provide the oem ones, just buy direct, have used them for a car in the past.

I contacted Autodoc as a Uk supplier of Stabilus, gave my chassis number and they replied with these

LHS (red) on my car - BHE790044
https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/oem/bhe790044

RHS (green) on my car - BHE790054
https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/oem/bh...0BHE790054

Not one of them is a Stabilus option. 2006 2.7 TDV6 HSE in Cairns Blue.

Lesson Learned.

After 7 months the tailgate gas struts I bought from FleaBay no longer work. (See my entry of 3/1/21 above and don't waste your money buying these.)

I've replaced them with proper LR ones which are much stronger and should last! BHE790043 for the LH side, and BHE790053 for the RH side. About 15mins to replace them both. Thumbs Up Barrie.
