Shocks

Post by ROBBIE » Sat Mar 23, 2019 9:06 pm

So when I bought the LJ I didn’t notice it had no shocks. I saw somewhere the other day what I needed, but now can’t find it. Anyone know what I need?

Mine's got Procomp on her. I have two brand new ones if you need them. Is yours standard? If so Vauxhall Astra ones should fit.

I think they did. Monroe is also an option.

Cheers mate. The most annoying thing is the local motor factors shut down and they used to be so helpful, the place that would get 3-4 types and let me take the lot to see what worked

My local factors wouldn’t sell me a normal single contact 5w bayonet bulb without a reg number or part number.

Mine wouldn't give my wife a wiper blade without a reg number, she had to call me...

And she had the old one in her hand at the time.
