The fact that the problem is worse in cold weather would emply that the problem is the strut as the gas is not expanding as much as it should in the coldweather and many years has reduced the level ( I had the same thing) I got new sruts from Delorean1 and although quite expensive were as perfect as you would expect ,however afterwards I came across an advert for a company that re fills the gas in them for around a tenth of the cost so try and look down that street first.
