You sent the PM? :huh:

That was my downfall, bought them as "front shocks", assumed them to be the whole strut assembly and then was a little miffed when they turned up. My struts were sealed units so they never got used.

I'm not gonna count my chickens but I [i[think[/i] I may have sourced a replacement shock. A guy on Club GTi binned his and broke one so has 3 working ones. Just hoping the one front one he has is the right side!
