Say boys, just spent a few quid having clutch, slave and slip diff fitted on my 2.5 and now the near side front shock has started leaking and knocking!Any thoughts on where I can get a pair or if any of you out there have a decent pair. Noble want £700! Ta

get them rebuilt...

never knew that was an option, but sounds good to me. Do you know of anyone that can do it. I'm in Sevenoaks and would prefer to take them to someone local, but if I've got to remove them and send them away, so be it. Another couple of weeks off the road is no big deal, what with the weather!

not sure TBH but i believe plans have had some rebuilt.

another 300 ish and you can have nitrons all round got to be worth the diff in money. I wouldn't change my std 2.5 ones but if they needed replacing then i would probably go the extra.

I can understand after the diff (been their) that its just more expense but def worth it.

Thanks for the advice fellas. Like the sound of the Nitrons. Would I get them from a race/rally supplier or are they specials for the Nob?

Nitron do not discount so might as well buy direct.
I have the settings for them if you do go for them.
They do make a big differance specially if you are going to use soft compound rubber.

I have to say, if you are not going to do any track work, I would get the originals rebuilt.

Or I have a full set of standard shocks and springs sitting in the garage, pm if you are interested.

I have just had mine rebuilt as I liked the feel of the standard Bilsteins. I had them done at B.A.D Designs in Essex they even repainted them so they look new as well.

How much did they charge at BAD? And did you take the shocks to them off the car? Im quite happy to have mine rebuilt, I feel they're just right for road use. Many people have been surprised how comfortable the car is on them without getting shaken apart and still get excellent handling.
