Rear shocks

Took it for an MoT test. Passed with advisories for oil misting on the rear shocks.

They look as though it's just an electrical connector, three bolts at the top and one at the bottom and Bob's your uncle. Are they really that easy to do?

I have a 2012 4.4 TDV8 Autobiography with adaptive damping.

Yes, It is that easy, just make sure you support the lower arm when you remove the bottom bolt, and it is easier if you depressurise the air bag first.
Mine were “damp” for literally years before one started to actually leak.

I have also read on here that it's extremely common on these vehicles to have that and if it's just a light misting then they shouldn't need changing it's just when it's more than a misting they are bad. Current 2007 TDV8 Vogue Buckingham Blue

Think I'll leave them for a bit, then.

Thanks, chaps! Thumbs Up
