Can anyone advise me of the correct nuton metres force that rear hatch support struts should be as lables on mine are un readable

[dickie524]

mine say 0330N, lift-o-mat BHE380260

So I assume 330 Newtons - sounds about right. I had mine re-gassed at SGS in Derby. Two years on and still perfect condition, lid fairly springs up! :-)

Pricey though... But convenient for me at least - I think they do mail order for those further afield...

Rover OE BHE380260, which are from STABILUS, parts no. 3779BZ
330 N

I bought a pair of MAGNETI MARELLI struts recently, Parts No.430719088400, fits perfect into my Tourer. Price for two was just about 25 Euros.

The same should be with TRISCAN 871068213, KILEN 460005, MONROE ML5819, LESJÖFORS 8188305 or ABAKUS 101-00-371.

Some of these numbers are also refering to the old Subaru Impreza Station Wagon (2000-2007), Subaru OE 63269FE000. Seems to be the same dimension and power

The last two posts are really helpful, thank you.

My struts on my Tourer don’t work very well. I had no idea you could get them re-gassed. But I’ve got the option of some new ones from another car.
