I've just had to fork out well over £2000 for two new front shock / spring assemblies for my DB9 sports pack. The car has only done 27000 miles. Astonishingly this is the 3rd set it's had. The first ones expired at 14000 miles, both times after leaking oil.

Are they just rubbish or did the first owner (a man in his 70s) thrash it round the roads of Aberdeenshire too much? Most of my driving has been on the Autoroute.

It's even more annoying that you have to purchase the whole assembly, and Aston insist you do both sides at once. Why can't I just buy a pair of the dampers from Bilstein?

Just venting some annoyance...
