Not from the UK, but am a Noble owner. I would look at having them rebuilt, and have new seals put in. This will be waaay less expensive than buying completely new units !

I ended up getting a second hand pair as it was quicker in the end.

You could try Plans motorsport, they had my rears re-built and lent me a pair while mine were away.
They did the change over and full geo IIRC <£500.

The car was transformed handling wise from what I thought was good to fantastic, it was less prone to understeer but still compliant.
Still had to be careful with lift off oversteer though wink
