Hi , has anybody got a good n/s strut mount for sale ? Its a series 2 with hydroactive .Cheers

That is not enough information to identify the correct one.
Read up the Strut head guide in the self help.

It's a series 2 xm 2.0tct.

Can still have a large or small strut piston.. meaning ome top or the other..

OK its a 1995 2.0t ct , I measured the thread and its 20mm not sure what other measurements I need ?

The nut and rod threads are common to all strut types.
Thread is at the top of a taper which varies depending on strut rod type and thickness.
You need to measure the diameter of the strut rod lower down on the parallel part.
Rod sizes are listed in the self help.
Strut heads have oil ways and sealing "O" rings that fit on the tapered part of the strut rod.
So strut heads have to match the rod taper size.
I would expect a 95tct to have the thinner rods.
This needs to be checked out as these are expensive items that are no longer available from Citroen.
Be very cautious about the condition of recovered ones as most are 20 years old with no idea of service history.
Expect a refurbished one to set you back £200 if you are not concerned about appearance.
Takes about 6 weeks and part of the cost is postage to and from eastern Europe.
If you want factory appearance then a man in Holland MAY be willing to refurbish for you.
More expensive and timescale a bit open ended as he is officially retired and does a batch now and then.

Cheers john , I would prefer a good second had one still on the leg if thats easier for people as I bought the car as a bit of fun to play around with, fix the electrical faults and anything else then sell on , my reason being I've never owned a Citroen or experienced the suspension system and wanted to give it a go , I love the way it drives but too thirsty for my commute so its a second car
