Rear shocker failure

I had the rear shockers replaced earlier in the year with some Britpart ones with a two year guarantee , there's an annoying knocking from the rear and my Landrover mechanic says its the shocks . They've probably only done 6k , surely this can't be right .

Having fitted britpart shocks to other land rovers with similar results, they'll send you some more, which will do the same in 6k, then send you some more, that'll do the same in 6k and on and on and on.


Save your time. Save your money. Put it down to experience and fit genuine.
