Do not need help anymore, took a while but I eventually found the top of the dampers after having removed more of the interior than needed. Will supply pictures shortly actually very easy to replace both dampers 07 Vogue SE Java Black 3.6 TDV8

I needed to change the rear dampers on my rr, after obtaining advice from a so called expert I started to strip out both sides of the boot interior after about 2 hours I found that this was a waste of time. as I still could not get to the top of the strut.

It's all happening here with G20. hopefully not as much action as happened in London. |

What is the likely price to fit two new rear shock absorbers? (supplementary question - are they different parts to the airbag spring units, or integral?). I had an MOT advisory of an oil weep on one of my rear shocks, so am interested.

Rear shocks are separate from air bags, if you do it yourself, do not let the suspension wishbone fully off support when removing the shock, this will put the full pressure on the airbag and you could damage it, the shock controls the amount of drop on the suspension so taking it off means the airbag can burst, the book says you should depressurise the suspension on the corner your doing but this isn't really necessary if your careful....

Thanks, that's helpful. Which brand should I use when replacing (or which to avoid)?
