One of my rear shocks is leaking lots of oil, has anyone managed to find a replacement stand alone shock or is it the full assembley? If it is a full assembley, can anyone suggest a good non LR replacement? 2011 tdv8. I'll be replacing both!

Your car will have the variable damping so your choices of non genuine will probably be limited.

The OE units are made by Bilstein. LR retail them at £423 each. Island 4x4 are half of that price.

I paid around £300 each for mine from Duckworth.

Really simple job to swap.

Not sure what you mean by full assembly… do you mean the air bag? As they are separate from the strut.

This is a picture of my old pair if rear struts…

Thanks chaps, if you look at the breakdown schematic there is a stand alone shock, with no part number, surrounded by the rest of the gubbins. I guess the shock on its own does not have a part number and therefore not available. Just thought that by now someone would have figured out a replacement! Should be cheap as chips!

That sounds like the front shock schematic… not the rear Currently driving: 2012 L322 SE Overfinch 4.4 tdv8

Yes, the rears are as above. Mine were changed at Christmas. Got them from Island too. You will need the paper gaskets from Land Rover for the mount, against the body. Says it’s imperative that they are replaced to stop water ingress to vehicle.

Is it ok to replace only LH Rear or you must replace as a pair, LH AND RH at the same time? 2011 Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

It’s strongly advisable to replace as a pair. They don’t need replacing if they are just leaking a bit of oil as this is normal. Only replace if you have obvious loss of suspension damping. Mine were still working well enough after 170k miles and 3 + years of MOT advisories of dampness. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

Thank you JayGee for the answer. Well I am not even 100 % sure if mine is leaking, just saw a drop on the driveway and I still need to exmine, where it exactly comes from.
How much of a leak is considered normal?
I have around 200k kms on the clock 2011 Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

Dampness is normal but dripping fluid on the driveway (if it is actualy from the shock and not somthing like brake fluid from a corroded line) would be more serious. You should be able to tell by the way it handles if a rear shock has failed. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

Are these with variable damping? 2011 Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

If the shock has dark patches on it where the dirt is darker than the dirt that´s dry, your shock is "sweating" oil which means it's time for new ones.
