I recently had the car serviced and mentioned that the rear shocks felt a bit wallowy and the fronts a bit 'crashy'.
The service dept. checked the rears, called AM, who inspected and changed the rears under warranty with no question.

When the car went back in for some remedial work after the service, I asked them to check the fronts.
This time, the dealer said yes, but came back and said that AM said they would not replace shocks unless they would fail the MOT (i.e. if they were leaking).

I've since found a place (Bilstein themselves) that will rebuild shocks, but I need a pair to use whilst mine are being done (I use the car daily).

Does anybody have any spare to loan or sell? Maybe after an upgrade?

TIA - Simon
