suffice to say i'm fed up of getting bumped on the head!

Are these a reasonably easy job to change on an estate?

I only know how to do the sedan version but this may help:

I hope your life becomes less painful with new tailgate struts.

done!

nice easy job actually, thanks of the link made life much easier

 

Glad your life has become less painful.

I use Volvospeed.com only for service references. I devote all my time in this forum, which is unparalleled in its helpfulness & maturity. I can't imagine how much time I would have to sacrifice by registering at other Volvo forums.

Anyway, come back again anytime you need to.

All of the forums i've come across are good, but this is the only one i've found not dedicated to full on performance,T5 or T5R based cars.

I'm sure the principles are the same, but this is the one i recommend to people.
