You should really replace them in pairs, try eBay, Happy birthday btw

 

[ltr power]

Are you wanting the dampers only or the dampers and coils ?

I got some from the scrappers and ended up paying £10 each for them , which i didnt think was bad , but if i was you i would buy the dampers new . I priced new ones up £28 +VAT .

Mines on there way out again so im going for new this time .

Forgot to say happy birthday .

its just the dampers im needing and im past poor at the moment so im looking to get them as cheep as possible and as soon as

Get them from scrappy then but make sure you give them a good check before you buy, mines only lasted about 2 months .

got the shock replaced the guy charged me a tenner which aint too bad good times

 

[superls]

in theory you shouldnt be able to buy shocks from a scrappers, as there supposed to drain all fluids from the car, this includes oil in the shocks

 

[Shero]

yeh man, about a tenner each from the scrappy, and give them a good clean up and check out while you have them off.!
Happy Birthday asweel mate!

lol nah the cup at the top of the shiny pole had rusted away and was no longer there :laugh: and the one from the scrappys seems in no bad nick and hopefully ill be replacing the suspention when i have monies again

also would it not be safer not to drain the shocks as there a presureised unit and to drain them could cause some ammount of damage if they went bang!
