Give Hadrian Car Panels a ring. They have a repair panel (front suspension seat) in stock which can be used to repair your strut. Costs around five pounds or so.

Cheers

Thanks Tom, nice pics especially for those fortunate enough not to know what a rotten one looks like! Will try Hadrian. Thanks again.
