Leaking nitron shock

[dalenorth]

I have a T350T with a leaking front shock. I have spoken with Nitron and they have asked me to remove the shock and post it to them for a repair at a cost of £65.00. The issue is turnaround - 20 working days!!!

Are there any other alternatives??? I'm based in Derby if that helps

I sent the set of four back to them that are on the Cerb, and it took less than that. I had them re-valved so a softer setting at the same time.

You could call Neil Garner, TVR Indie who's 20-miles from Nitron's Factory in Oxon?

He could arrange a speedier turnaround perhaps??

If you don't ask..........? Here's his home page: http://www.neilgarner.co.uk

I'm taking the nitrons off my Tuscan on Monday. You are welcome to borrow one if you are willing to leave a deposit and collect / deliver back to Glossop.

TBH I'd have the pair rebuilt.

That said how old are the shocks? I ask as as if they're 3 or 4 years old I'd have all four rebuilt.

I say that as one of my rears leaked and I just had the rear pair done and once I'd put them back on the front was awful and I had to have those done immediately.

If you have a friendly dealer/Indie they may well have a spare set of shocks they can put on for you while you wait for the Nitrons to return? The upside is they come back looking like new.

NTEL - many thanks for your kind offer, but I think I will try Neil Garner on Monday.

Can't wait to get her back on the road!!

Call Jason at STR8SIX. The Nitron factory is a short distance from them. I had all four serviced and new Eibach springs fitted and the turnaround time was less than a week.
