How do I fix my hydrolics of boot in Rover 214si?

The boot of the Rover 214si does not stay open and it is very heavy to hold open.

Thank you

The gas struts that take the weight of the boot lid have given up...you'll need two new ones (cheaper from a motor factor rather than the main stealers). Easy enough to replace but its best to prop the boot lid up with a plank of wood (or a male partner) as you do so....the tailgate is as heavy as hell.
