The original struts that failed to lift the bonnet on my car were made by a Belgian company called HINSCHA with the '4027CV 0245N' code printed on the side of the strut casing. I did a bit of searching around on 'tinterweb' and eventually plumped for a set of front struts called Nitro Lift for my car from SGS Engineering. Work really well, easy to fit. I think they're up north somewhere, Derby (I just checked). I've attached an image of the measurements in PNG format.
