I got a price back the other day for mine. They're about Ł30 each for a refurb, replacing all the basic parts, blast and recoat. Worst case scenario is Ł200 plus vat to replace inner components and the aforementioned bits.

speak to gaz direct, info available through their site.
i did have a quote and it was Ł25+vat and carriage to service my coilovers each, but if the rod was damaged that would be an extra Ł15 each one. so not mega money IMO, they will have so many mass produced parts and probably use the same rods and seals in each, just cut down in length to keep costs down.
so you could be lucky, worst case would be Ł192+carriage though, but may do a deal for a full kit.
the problem is turn around time, i'd need them back within a week and that isn't likely to happen.
