As plenty of members will tell you, used struts (airbags) can be a minefield. Like you, I was put in an awkward position when I had an airbag go at a time when funds weren’t exactly available. Against all advice I bought a (yes, just the one) new Dunlop strut and fitted it myself to save money.
The Dunlop lasted 50,000 miles until I sold the old V8, which for me exceeded all expectations, with no suspension issues at all after that.
If the one you’ve seen doesn’t feel right then stay way from it. A quick eBay search showed up a Delphi used one for about half the price of a new one, from a company I’ve used in the past for used parts without issues.
Good luck and I hope you are back on the road soon. 2017 Jaguar F Pace 25t Portfolio - still part of the JLR family 😀
