Hi,

I need to replace one McPherson strut assembly (so I should do both), here in Norway it´s hard to get non-Toyota sets.
I can get a full set for both sides for £117.46 + £90.05 + Norwegian customs toll of 25% so it is about £270 for both sides inc. sway bar links and a 10 year warranty.
BUT
I have been reading the feedback for the above seller, not good enough to take a chance all the way from the US.

Is there a UK seller I can be put in contact with that has a good reputation please.

cheers, hope you can help. John

Here in Norway my 2007 RAV4 D4D is worth almost nothing, so non-genuine will do. I had a quote for replacing both complete struts from the local Toyota dealer, 18,000 kroner/£1345 each side!

I found in the past that its the time it takes to get stuff shipped from USA. The 2 links above show the complete strut as out of stock.
