Shock absorber search

As can be seen, Skylark has started to leak, not unreasonable asfter 21 years I suppose, so I need to replace them. Now after a quick check I am a) not finding any really and b) finding they are quite expensive! Two things I don’t really like. So open to the massive to help me fine out some. Mine is the van as apparentły the pickup is a different length.

When you say expensive, what have you been quoted? Have you tried a good, independant motor factor?

With a life expectancy of 25years, i suppose we shouldn't expect too cheap

Ouch! They seem to be out of stock though. Must admit, am having trouble finding any listed. Does anyone know the original manufacturer?

Yes, that’s the problem I have been finding! Has anyone got the actual part number so I don’t get the wrong ones.

Hi Raggy,

Whilst browsing some German sites I came across these, which seem reasonably priced. They are for the 1000cc. No measurements though - maybe drop the vendor a note.

Thanks, got some in the end from somewhere else.

Can you share where you got them ? could be very useful to some other owners.
