I got my new shocks and top mounts today and will be fitting them on Sunday. I had a fright last night, someone walked out in front of me, I went for the brakes and the pedal went straight to the floor. Thankfully the handbrake worked. I found that one of the rear cylinders was leaking fluid badly. A replacement was £6.50 plus vat. Whilst fitting it I found that the bearing had collapsed. Too late to get one today so a rush job in the morning before work at 11. Mark Miles

You may need an impact wrench - airgun or similar - to get the second nut off; it's been a pain on occasion for me.
