The rear shock just snapped on the Griff, it went which a big bang but now the fuel pump isn't priming, I found a little black box behind the dash but the button isn't popped out, is there another? any ideas what might be causing it?

Its behind the glove box. Have you checked the connections on the pump itself, or the pump relay, one of two metal ones in a harness in the footwell.

looked like when the car dropped to the floor one of the wires was disturbed, got it back on now. Also fitted the old shocks as the aftermarket ones had come undone where the the top mount attached to the rod, glad I wasn't on the motorway. Next question will be what new shocks

They are redline shocks that were fitted quite a few years ago, they were tested by a well known independent on a friends car first then put onto mine, what looks to have happened is the top lock nut had come undone, not really sure the shock was at fault though as if the lock nut was nice and tight it shouldn't have happened.

I am considering the Protech as can't really run to Nitrons etc.

Haven't tried them yet but that would probably be my next set up
