I have a 2003 d5, the tail gate struts and bonnet struts are knackered !! (Headache!) on Ebay there are so many that claim they are for my car, any help please? also the timing belt issue, in the service book it was replaced 30km ago, but how can I check if it is ok, and what Gates belt is needed if required ? Thanks for all good replies .

Hello.
2003 D5.....V70? XC70? XC90? To know witch struts?

How many miles?
Time belt was replaced 30km ago? 30km= 18 miles....well a visual inspection will tell you.....all should be shinny new. Same with Gates belt.....

I should have mentioned it is a V70, and it was 30,000 km ago when it was replaced, anyone got a part number for a Gates belt ?

Well rule of thumb. Timing belt should be replaced every 60.000 miles (90.000km).If it was REALLY changed (CHECK CHECK), you still have another 60.000km with that one.

for struts try this ...different prices for your wallet size.
