Harumph.
Indeed. A lot of use they are.

Interesting thread, I suspect mine have just started to show a bit of age as it self-rises from halfway but stops a few inches short at head height and needs an extra little push to lift it to the top.

Well I have a sore head today from my W210 boot. I've got some replacement struts from Fleabay DE for £50 the pair. Will let you know if they work...

Was looking on the web today after my tailgate on my S211 fell on my head.
I too found SGS after getting a quote of around nearly £100 for each strut from MB!!!
Called PFS and Rob there managed to locate a set of Febi Bilstein struts. These work out to around £150 delivered.
Will give it until the weekend and follow this post to see where it leads to.

Thought I'd update this.
I located some for my car from a seller called autoteile-preiswert on ebay.de Cost about £50 for the pair delivered.
Fitted one today before I ran out of light, and problem solved. Damper looked to be by the OE Manufacturer.

Done one side. Vastly improved.
Will do the other side this weekend - if I get chance. All good.
