I know a guy down in middlesbrough who breaks land rovers only.
If you cant aford new may be worth giving him a bell to get second hand part as temp fix.

Number is 01642 564964

Also look in local yellow pages for Tanfield4X4.Agai another 4x4 breakers.
Ive been there a couple of times and always seems to have a couple of disco's in being broken up
Cant say I've had any experiance of buying from them but maybe better than trip to smog city

Wouldn't that make it leak :?

If the crack is in the outer cover (top part) that hides the piston then it won't make any difference to the shocker. Only if its the main casing (bottom part) will it be a problem.  :wink:

It's in the top outer casing. Will probably upgrade the shocks soon
