Hi Ben,

You probably have the old HA\'s which are long long gone now,

It may help to know that there are companys out there like Leda and Gaz that will rebuild your shocks, however my advice is to make sure you do a pair at a time even though the other side is not leaking as this would have dire effects on the handling of your car,

hope this helps

Thanks, Do these companys have to keep your cat tho. The reason i ask is that my car is my daily driver so i need it.
 
Thanks

With Gaz you will have to send them the pair of shocks, so your car will be off the road for a bit unless you can get a pair of second hand fronts from a car being broken and pop them on the car...

You might be able to go down there for the day get them off serviced and back on again, but it depends on what needs to be done to them.
