Hi. Not wanting to hijack your thread but do you have any tips for fitting one to an XC70. Looking at the aftermarket there is plenty of choice but no way to check quality. Derek

The hardest part is tapping into the oil lines. Look at post by CNGBifuel

Are they available as strut assembly and in good order(Including top mounts)?
Will they fit a 1999 S80 T6?
Geoff.

The struts will be the same

Again not wishing to hijack, but as the car's likely gone by now I don't feel too awful lol. Anglesey's not the biggest place in the UK, would you happen to know a French car nut by the name of Paul? (CitroenXM).

Oh, and if you still have it, how much for the fridge and bits to install? (if it's possible on a car that didn't originally have one, ours is an '06 (original shape) SE Lux cheers.
