Gas strut failure?
Hi
After the local mechanic in France was playing about in the boot [rear light failure in the lid] he replaced the wires in the clip alongside the boot lid gas strut. Next time I opened the lid it was a little heavy and now instead of closing gently it slams!  Can he have broken it/them? Do the struts suddenly fail? or maybe its because its been very cold recently and they will recover. Can they be repaired/adjusted or must they be replaced?
Grateful to hear any thoughts.
