Hi All.
Is there a conversion for the MK1 ZS to fit gas struts or some way of dampening the opening of the boot lid ?

Re: ZS/45 saloon boot query
I bought a pair of gas struts for my 420 (same bodyshell?). I'll look out the invoice if I still have it and let you know.
I assume the torsion bar on your car has gone soft. If it has, you can fit a wooden sprag which increases the strength as a temporary expedient.

Hi, thanks for your message. No, it's far to violent ! It could knock you out if it sprung under your chin ! I want to soften the operation.
