Need to replace the front and rear shock absorbers on my dad's facelift 75 diesel auto. Where's the best place to buy good quality ones at the best price?

Cheers

DMGRS have shocks. Not exactly the correct spec, but if you don't drive it like you stole it, will be fine.

Rick, first port of call would be to lift the rear seat base, passenger side, to try to find the sticker with the suspension codes, to see what shock and spring set up the car originally had.
Sticker / label may be under the carpet.

Then, you can either buy from rimmers,

or search for the same part code on line.

I’ve used Sachs shocks before, but only at the front, and they seem ok to me.
