My father lives out in Spain, has a 1999 Megane. The rear hatch struts/damper have given out, so I found him some on ebay and they have just arrived there. The problem is he can't see how they come off! (And I'm obviously not there to help) Can anyone describe how they come off? Do you need...

Cleaning the 'new' espace up today and found the struts all covered in oil at the bottom. I NEVER have understood why manufacturers insist on fitting gas struts with the oil seal facing downwards. OK, sometimes it's possible that the strut body might foul on something as it opens, but if it...
