Re: front nearside suspension strut
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.

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