All Facelifts were Gas were they not?

Replaced the wife's with Centaur (Kwik fit) lifetime Guranteed Gas ones (Wish I'd put Konis on but she wouldn't let me)

Rears just top nut and bottom bolt.

Fronts require strut taking off and Springs removing (specialist tools)

sorry how dumb of me i meant bonnet gas lifters?

Assuming the Mk3 astra ones are the same as Cavalier etc. Usually you remove the top bolt from the bonnet hinge, then one from the wing top, then just click the strut into place with the ball joint fittings. Fitting usually takes under 10 mins.

so can i get some struts from a scrappy if so which 1`s do i use?

Oh, if you are looking at converting some you may have to use brackets etc.
You can buy them ready to fit complete with fittings for Astras tho. Wouldnt bother with scrappy for them tbh.
Usually about £40 for a pair.

PVD do them, many other places too

CAv ones cost £35 from Gav.
