Shocking shock prices??

09-10-2008, 12:43

Although my T2 passed its MOT this week :smile: front end is decidely 'floaty' I'm guessing all the shocks are original at 113k miles so probably well past their best, have seen Monroe Gas shocks on ebay which is a name I know and trust at £75 front pair and £85 rear pair,with 2 year warranty. Having found out today when the log book came back that it has been written off previously

ops: ( theres always a reason for a car being cheap!) Dont want to spend too much money on it but potentially falling off the road with 1600kg of caravan on the back doesnt appeal either!
How does that sound price wise? any other recommendations on manufacturer/suppliers at decent prices... not intending any 'serious' off road use just a little light green laning and lugging kids and caravan and all the other junk we have to take with us!

Thanks in anticipation of your worldly wisdom....

Pro-comp. Go to the downloads section from t homepage we get a good dicount from them, they will be cheaper than monroe and have a lietime guarentee which ny all accounts the honour on a no quibble basis.

I would go for a set of Pro Comp shocks (I will be when they are needed) as they are surpossed to honour their warrenty like HB has said

Many thanks guys... just had a look at the pro comp prices and they seem to be very very reasonable :smile: Certainly cheaper than what I have seen on e-bay and just reading through the list I get the feeling I can almost design what I want and they will make it... or discuss what I need and they can advise me might work better :wink: To top it all they are about 6 miles up the road!!!!!!!!!! aint it nice when a plan starts to come together... I feel my Terrano development plans starting... and when it rideas and steers better it will just be needing a bit more go :twisted:

Will give pro comp a ring.. thanks again

Not got any stock yet :twisted: He's been telling me he would get stock for the last 3 weeks. I ordered mine, I was told they were in stock, paid my money and guess what no stock :twisted:

Have phoned a couple of times and was told stock coming in on 20th Monday, phoned today to see if they've shipped and guess what no one to answer phone :twisted:

I hate when someone takes my money and no stock I'll wait another couple of days then I'll be getting my money back as I'm waiting to change springs and shocks.

Jocky · 23-10-2008, 09:24

Ask him again when he says he's getting stock.

I'll phone again and see what he tells me, if the phone gets answered????. Then I'll decide what I'm going to do as I need these by tuesday.

Jocky · 24-10-2008, 10:46

Tried phoning again yesterday and today and there appears to be a line fault 8O

I've also had no reply to numerous emails :twisted:
