Leaking Shock
MOT and Full inspection carried out today, inspection report says in remarkable condition for a 10 year old car (they would say that wouldn't they) No cracks - phew, only two things were picked up, reservoir for the headlight washers leaking (didn't even know I had one) and the offside Rear Shock was beginning to leak
Any contacts for shocks boys? Have to replace come the spring in time for the trip

Only if Neil Ms Cecil is under 60K miles otherwise it becomes costly

Thanks guys for the replies.
It's got a warranty and it's under 60K, but I've no experience of making a claim. s.mac who would you advise Williams (Manchester, Bolton, Stockport, Rochdale) Halliwell Jones - Warrington, or Blue Bell - Wilmslow? I don't think it merits a trip to Elms but you never know. I can foresee an issue arising over the replacement of only one shock and not both.

Lawsy would be the man to know the best around there, I too drive to Cambridge, although now my lad works at JCT600 BMW I think that might be my best option

I know from the experiences of others that Elms are the No.1, when it comes to the CSL fettling, I'll have a word with 'giraffe' and see what he says. Thanks again chaps, it's much appreciated.
