Not had a great deal of luck with this car so far, chaps.
I've now managed to damage the top of one of the self-levelling dampers (passenger side) after, I suspect, the air hose came loose, losing all pressure, and the damper body slammed up into the ring where it goes into the body when I went over a bump slowly. The ring now sits, bent, at about a 30 degree angle to what it should be.
The car is now almost undrivable (managed to limp a mile back to the g/f's house) and I had to be recovered all the way back down to Dorset.
Replacement self levellers are ££££s it seems. I don't really think I'll ever use the facility and I know some people replace with standard shocks. Kwik-fit were unable to help me (one of the few open over the weekend) but suggested either Bilstein or Spax.
Can anyone tell me exactly what is the best replacement suspension and the part number and approx cost? Seem to recall Bilstein could be had for about £25 a pop...?
And is it a job I can do myself?
(I know it's been discussed before several times, but the search function on here is lamentable at best)
Thanks for your help,
Graham
