NSF - That's only been in there 10 months / 6k miles. It was a Lesjofors spring, so not unbranded. I think probably a new strut and top mount is in order, but a quick check on Autodoc indicated £330 fir a pre built unit so more research required. The other side the top mount is def broken as the middle was loose when I did that last year, so both sides needed.

As you know Richard I have just completed renewing struts all round and I used KYB springs with a 5 year warranty. This is the ad for mine but I expect the same place will have them for yours :-D

That's not lasted long Richard... Do you have rather lumpy roads up your way? Can't imagine any worse than ours around here - mostly they look like the RAF have been using them for target practice :twisted:

Yeah, roads are pretty rough!

Thanks Mick, KYB was on my mind - apparently the OE struts are often KYB. A complete set of bits from Pug is £437 so we won't be going there!
