Thank you Paul,

 

So I've the choice of new or a refurbished one.

What would be the most economical?

As I drive not much, I'd opt for refurbished.

 

Cheers,

Hans

I've only ever replaced them singly - as long as they are replaced with the
same type.  Unlike telescopics which altered the damping as they aged, and
had to be (expensively!  Which is why I went back to lever-arms) replaced as
a pair, in my experience the lever-arms give consistent damping - while the
oil lasts.

 

PaulH.

 

One of the rear shock absorbers is leaking, so that's an MOT failure.

Now it can be easily be replaced.

So my question is, should I replace both sides because of the damping
characters?

I drive rarely, so basically it is not wearing out.
