Replace gas struts when adding VW bike rack to T6?

[briwy]

Thanks guys - great tips - I'm still considering getting a bike rack - and in the meantime will keep going to the gym and then amusing nearby campers...

Get the dogs to help Alison, just hang them from the strap in their harnesses.

Just checked and the struts have the 1250Nm marking on the side.

How much is a new set of struts? In anticipation of an early failure.

There are some genuine ones on ebay

English gas, Welsh gas or even German gas: it is all European.

That is until the Brexit is there. Then you have German gas = European, English and Welsh = no European Union gas.

Just checked and the amount is 1200 not 1250 will that still support bikes ?

Sorry the value printed on the gas strut is 1200 not 1250 seems strange we it’s 50nwtons less
