tried out the new jack
and did some wire brushing and covered everything with rust convertor - 3 hours later, one arch done :blink:
the area behing the headlight was nearly perforated, a screwdriver would easily go through it, brushed it carefully and smothered it.
anyone with a jim more than 6 years old needs to protect this area before it's gone

got a new rear door strut from
SGS
- £25 next day delivery
there is no way to separate the ball and socket on the original one
without resorting to extreme measures
job done, it simply pops onto the replacement strut
I had to destroy the door fitment inorder to get it off, and used a M8 coach bolt and nuts to refit
job done
happy days

SGS strut update .... not happy, IMO these are not fit for purpose
unlike the OEM struts which have metal sockets to fit the bumper "screw in ball", these replacement parts are only made of plastic - which combined with the fact that the strut is more powerful than the OEM one, flings the door open with considerable force, but it cannot take the strain.
currently talking to th supplier will advise when resolved.
