Have 80K miles and six years on the clock.
The rear hatch would close with a loud bang, so I figured the two struts needed replacment.
Just bought new struts from BA (on sale) and replaced them today.
The hatch will now hold in most any position and closes with a solid thud, rather than the previous bang.
Well worth the time and minimal effort.
PS I saved the half moon clips that hold the struts on from the old ones, in case I lose some in the future when putting the hood/bonnet into service position.
