Evening all

Reckon my front passenger shock/spring is knackered :( The slightest bump in the road over 30mph and that side 'clunks' and feels like it bottoms out. Went over a speed bump (car park type) last night, and when the front wheels rolled down, the engine hit the speed bump with a nasty bang! (only doing 3 or 4 mph)

Is there an easy way to find out what is fitted so I can order replacements?
ie part numbers?

if you look under your rear side on the passenger side under the rubber will be a label which will give you the code for the shock.that is of course if you wish to retain the original spec.otherwise look of ebay best of british are doing oem spec shocks at a good price

THanks

I saw one of their ebay listings, and it seemed a good price for a pair.

Re: Best of British, give them the codes from the sticker under the back seat to ensure you get the right suspension parts as there's so many variations of suspension fitted to our cars. I had to wait about a month for my suspension from them as it was made to order and was in high demand, but their service was great.
