Evening,

Quick one, what would be the best place to grab:

- 2 new struts for my 306 '99 estates tailgate, ones that will maybe
hold it open. Also, can these be fitted/removed without tools. I've
tried to figure it out but its not clear and its very hard to work with
a heavy metal door balanced on your head.

- A net similar to the ones found in the boots of estate models with a
higher spec than mine. I'm not used to a large boot for things to roll
around.

I'm assuming i'd have a good shot at finding either at breakers yards
but alternatively, where would I look?

Thanks.
Tom.

The struts from Neat autos www.parts4peugeot.com or GSF
http://www.gsfcarparts.com/

The net - Halfords and others sell them to cover trailers and roof racks
etc.

I've seen the nets on Ebay. So quite possibly the struts will be there
too. The nets are general for any saloon/estate of your size
(307,206,406 etc) but the struts will be specific so just type in your
car make and model and search.

Thinking about it, does the 306 have the hooks for fitting the nets?

Only the estate, I think: the normal hatch doesn't.

You need a "bit of wood" [TM] get a length of 2x1 or a broom handle
and cut it to the required length. One end goes in the corner of the
boot and the other under the lid in the raised position.
