Which are the good ones and what were the bad experiences. Do I really need to go Land Rover or will OME do just fine?

I had a Camry hatchback many years ago and simply got the struts re-gassed. worked so well that they had to let the pressure down a bit so I could shut the hatch door. It was a very heavy door indeed. Might be worth a look at if replacement cost is over the top.

I've purchased struts from these guys before:
Gas Struts & Accessories - Auto & Industrial - Struts Australia

No problems

I think op means the air bags on the suspension

Mentioned in the FAQs and in separate threads. I think someone updated recently for Koni. Search is your friend.

Sorry, I did mean the air suspension struts.

I've never found the search that friendly on this site.

I too find the search function pretty poor. Usually I go through Google using the aulro as well.

^^^ Like he said.

My experience is for a single word it works well. For multiple words or a phrase I use Google and add 'aulro' to what I want to find. HTH.
