According to Monroe's website shocks should be replaced at 40k!
Judging by the state of the rear ones John replaced with 64k on them my front ones really do need changing if they're in a similar condition.
over a hundred quid though for a bit you can't see

if they not leaking then don't worry, just add it to the to do list and save up

both of mine on the front are starting to weep..
44k miles on the clock.. well it will be by the time i get to panda camp

One of Pippin's was weeping, when I bought him; another was having a nervous breakdown, I think....
24,000 miles; but 23 years old....
It's just a shame that my suspension isn't as easily replaceable....

Ah that's good then, I can see what you're doing while he pumps the brakes.
That way I'll know what to do for the next time.
Did someone mention spare alloy wheels

No worries, I have plus gas. Dug out my bleeding kit thingy-ma-bob as well
I'm assuming you have an appropriate size spanner though - my tools are near stamford bridge so not end of the world if not though, will just have to go pick some up.

Well thanks to blu73 and Eklipze3k I have bled brakes ::worship::worship:
Unfortunately some numpty (me) must have left the interior light on after fitting the radio back in the other day so flat battery :bang:
On charge now and hopefully will get a drive out this afternoon
So near and yet so far
Edit:
Only took an hour to get enough charge to start him
Had a run round the block (well a five mile or so block) brakes are excellent
:woot: Fizzles back on song, that slight midsection exhaust blow sounds great with a few revs flying round the country lanes
It's great driving a Panda, but nothing beats driving your very own Panda

Bit far to go for a set of alloys which need refurbing - about £30 for courier though.
Whatever I end up with it needs to be cheapish and look good in black :devil:
