Its only got 58k on it and I believe I have all receipts for work done from new... The shocks look a little rusty near the bottom so this is why I think they're original...

Saloon below, estate above... for reference, the washers are the wrong way round, but the order is otherwise correct ;)

Then I'm either missing the " tube" or it's fused itself to the shock without my knowing  :-X

Well I have re covered my tracks when I changed  the shock rubbers.. There's no steel spacer/ tube inside them both so I conclude they're still attached to the spindle without my knowing.. No signs of them on garage floor or in the pit I used... Thinking now the little knocking noise maybe something coming adrift inside one of the door panels instead.
