My son and daughter-in-law have been given a used Quinny folding
stroller for their new baby. It appears to have a built-in gas strut -
which is compressed when it is folded, and which assists it to unfold
when a catch is released.

According to my son, this was fine when they received it, but has
stopped working - and the baby hasn't even used it yet!

The gas strut is inside a longitudinal tube which has a slot all along
the bottom, and looks as if it should engage with a short outer
concentric tube which connects to the undercarriage. Except that I can
see all the strut's pushrod - which extends to the rear of the
containing tube - suggesting that something has come adrift.

Have any of you ever had one of these things apart? Any pointers as to
what to look for? Better still, anyone know where I can find an exploded
diagram of how all the bits fit together. [The pictures on the Quinny
website -if you can figure them out - are only of use to users, whereas
I need something useful to a repairer.]
