Do both struts need replacing together?

Yes, it’s recommended — even if one is still holding, the other is likely the same age and will weaken soon too.

Is a failed strut a safety issue?

Yes — a lid dropping unexpectedly can injure you while you’re reaching into the boot, so replace it promptly.

How often do these need replacing?

There’s no fixed schedule — they typically last several years and are replaced once they stop holding the lid up.

I ordered a Heater Blower Motor Resistor for a Toyota Avensis. Delivery took eight days from Latvia to Ireland. I installed it, and everything works perfectly. I wish this company success.

No complaints about Evro Trans itself, everything's fine. But the delivery..... It felt like the order was being carried by turtles. 4 days from Riga to Daugavpils. Judging by the tracking, the parcel just sat somewhere behind a shed for 3 days, then they found it and delivered it the next day. I think that's why I won't be ordering there again.

Bought a front fender for my car. I liked it! After payment they sent more than 20 photos of the problem areas, and it was packed very securely - took a while to unwrap.
