Hi,

I need to change the spheres in my Xitroen, as the car has become very bumpy.

Any idea on the usual cost of this at a garage?

Many thanks for your help

Dave

From the GSF website they are £18.50 each, add VAT ontop of that and then £4.00 P&P...but the delivery is quick!

The actual work fora garage is simple, as easy as changing a wheel but if they realise you don't know what a simple job it is then you will get som esilly quotes.

Hydractive systems known by 2 things :
1) 1 extra sphere both front and rear fitted onto a hydraulic "base device" with several pipes to/fro (antisink sphere is only on rear - and have a single pipe)
2) pipes running to the suspension cylinders are large outer diameter - 10mm - easy seen on the front cylinders from engine bay. (non-hydractive has the small dia 3.5mm pipes)
