If someone is going up there in person could they pick some up for me please, with current goings on am loath to order from them over phone/online. I don't want the standard ones so they might have stock. Will pay carriage costs etc to get em over to me or fuel costs and meet up - whatever is best.

After the pro-comp disaster went back to ebay and ordered the Monroe shocks at £167 a set... arrived day after phone order 8)
Fitted yesterday and discovered why the ride had been so bad... offside rear no damping at all... :roll: Nearside rear only had 1" of movement then solid.. solid enough to have bent the upper mounting point 8O
Fronts were both really soft too so now it feels rather better! Rear suspension actually works now and the front not bouncing around all over the place so I'm happy now :smile: Now I have a ride thats perfectly acceptable and I know why it was bad before so thats cool..
On removing the originals they have Monroe/Nissan stamped on them but the new ones are much larger diameter than the originals and are badged as 'Adventure 4x4'
Lets hope I dont need the 2 year guarantee!!

Nice one :smile:

Changed my springs today and found rear shocks on the trol nearly useless, no resistance,8O as were the rear springs

Front shocks are fine :smile:

Haven't decided which ones to get after the explorer disaster :evil:

Will probably get rears from Milners tomorrow as I can't afford a full set just yet. 8O

I'll keep you posted
