My engine lid will not stay open for very long at all as it needs the strut replacing - can anyone help with a replacement?

GSF are now running a 33% off discount code, so I'm willing to try again, but can anyone tell me if po0070 is the right part?

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.
10 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

My engine lid will not stay open for very long at all as it needs the strut replacing - can anyone help with a replacement?
I ordered this one, but when it arrived it was for a pre-98 car according to the box (although the website says it's good for mine) :
http://www.gsfcarparts.com/877po0030
While I was in the shop taking it back I was told that the following would fit:
http://www.gsfcarparts.com/877po0070
I didn't order it as they didn't have any in stock and I didn't actually really want to pay for a strut, I was only doing so because it was cheap and I didn't want to risk another wasted journey.
GSF are now running a 33% off discount code, so I'm willing to try again, but can anyone tell me if po0070 is the right part? On the website it's listed as being shorter than po0030, which is a shame as po0030 was already too short.
Thanks

I got the ones for my 993 from here.

Quick delivery although a PITA to fit.
Thanks for the tip, hadn't seen that site before.
Comes to the same price - £25.14 - but I'm much more tempted by GSF's 33% off, if it's the right bit! I'm fair too tight to be paying full price for something only really enjoyed by the folks down the garage
Quick bump to ask if anyone knows the GSF part?
There's 35% off if ordered before Sunday and using the code NOVE35
I've quite like to pay as little as possible for this.. Thanks
