They are leaking but the main fault is when off the car you can push the rod in with ease on any setting.
The tech was going to set it up, camber, track etc but first started changing settings and bouncing the front end up and down, it was like a 4 by 4 bouncing up and down with ease, a bit like a bus. He took them off and the rod had oil on from leak and as I said it was so easy to push in. They spotted there was no rubber for bump protection so possibly when hitting kerbs the rod has pushed through the valve? I'm going to get them rebuilt with a separate canister, which I have been told will protect the strut, if curbed. They are LEDA's.

Suspension on these cheapo cars is disposable, same with mx5, £500 a set, check them after last race of the year and buy new if they are not performing.
yes it was a nice one, just under 500 bhp and very light :119: they look after some very nice cars a few e type race jags, a couple of other jags, one worth a cool £million :119: an old 24hr le mans one, the very same one a famous driver passed away racing in it, his name escapes me
