I started getting a knocking noise from the o/s front suspension recently. I jacked the car up and took off the wheel to have a look and discovered the coilover was covered in oil top to bottom.

I'm assuming it's going to have to be rebuilt/serviced so does anyone know anywhere I can get this done preferably in the Essex area?

The coilovers have been on the car less than 18 months. They were second hand when I bought them though. I have contacted HSD but haven't heard anything back yet.

Thanks, I'll check out AVO. I take it they are willing to rebuild coilovers that weren't made by them?

I had an e-mail from HSD/Driftworks today offering me a replacement damper for £120 so think I'm going to go for that.
Do you think I'll be ok replacing one damper or will it be better to do the pair?

I know it's true with springs just wasn't sure about dampers.

I did end up buying two as I would have been really annoyed if I'd just bought one and the other had failed.
In stock and in the post tonight so I can still bring the car to JAE!
