Having read the comments when I replace my leaking rear self levelling shock, are you saying I have to replace both? I understand the reasons for this on coils and tyres but what would the reason be on shocks?

yeah, i nearly went into all that...

same, differant ware rates, knackered old oil and damping valves in olds shocks will give differant damping to a new shock. For instance ohlins, who make very high quality suspension components, state road shocks should be serviced every two years, and competition use involves a far shorter service interval. If youl see the oil coming out of the unit, in extreme cases its like water compared to what they put in new, basickly you get a loss of damping as time and use goes on an as the damping oil degrades.

As mentioned previously in the post, one side will be worn, so will provide a different level of damping than a new one, creating imbalance.

Always do both sides. 

Pretty obvious  should of realised that! ouch it's gonna be expensive..

Excuse the asking, If I take out membership and get a VX trade card is this the price from a Vauxhall dealer or from the members site?

you pay thr vx trade club price at a dealer. Vx do their own card which is a bit more difficult to get hold of. Autobahn stormers have negotiated their own deal to access the exact same scheme, so you pay the same trade club price as vx trade club card holders do, you just have a differant card is all. Some less helpfull dealers have been known to be fussy over the abs card, if they get stropy tell them straight, the card is valid.
