Just noticed some oil in my strut top and the other day spotted some under the bonnet (above the strut). So this winter they are coming out. Anyknow if they can be resealed / refurbed??

I had mine re done mate. Im pretty sure if its within 2 years they will do it for free, otherwise I think there is a charge of about £25 where they service the whole shock

£25 I wish, I had mine done about a year ago for the same problem.
£93 all in posted back, for the pair.
They leak so I was told owing to the adjuster never turning once set so I turn mine all the way every couple of months.
AVO UK Ltd, 01604 708101, ask for NIGEL.

The rears are £35 MAX so Nige tells me, so not so bad on the rear.

What can I say mine were without doubt £93 the pair returned back to me, not when they said either as had to wait for some bits(spares?) to come in, took two weeks.
