Hi All. Second question of the night. Does anybody know where I can get my rear Bilstein Shock Absorbers refurbed? Got a leaker.

Ben Lang (ex-TVR) can sort you out. He trades as blackdownauto on e***. Several owners have either bought new ones from him or got the originals refurbished.

Make a call direct to Bilstein, in Leicester, who better to refurb than the manufacturers themselves

When I took my old rear shockers off I discovered that they were not Bilsteins but AVOs which I couldn't get refurbed.
I contacted Ben Lang at Blackdown Auto and bought a new pair. He also changed the springs over for me as I live close enought to collect them. Great service. Well recommended.
