hey guys need a pair of rear shocks for me L reg 16v hatch,one of mine rusted trough .Checked the other seems to be going the same way so i thought i may as well change both.Hopefully it aint a big job.If you have the rear discs as well with bearings i may be interested in those to non ABS type.

im in eastbourne but do travel to kent and can arrange collection in surrey as well.

please help me get my baby running again..

ok had a good look,and it looks like the shocks themselves are ok.But the metal shround that fits over the platsic shock cove r is rusting away and the lower large curved washer has gone.Guess it rusted away...
so it would be great if anyone has that washer or is it attached the shock piston itself.If so im still gonna have to get new ones?

I've got a set that were new on the car about 5k ago. If Neal doesn't want them with the rear beam you can have em. I'm in sussex too (Burgess Hill) so could work out well.
