well managed to get and have a look at it and it look like its the off side shock has gone, wet and you can hear the air in it.

now comes the question about the shock lol. is it just a shock or is it the whole strut, as i aint got a clue, i wouldnt

know what part number it is or anything. the only thing i could find is something like this http://www.buypartsby.co.uk/kyb-shock-absorbers-buy.php hope its

ok to post links up on here as i havent had time to look at the rules sorry mods.

so hopefully someone can help in letting me know if im looking at the right part.

cheers all.

steve

Should be ok with just the shock mate.

Prob best to change both at same time too.
