Got mine off now and refitted the cylinder, most of the bits on just need to tighten them to the correct torque.

Mine is leaking from the base.

Also found out it is the same seals used the xantia's spheres

Six months on and no sign of the video about repairing the front strut. Shame, I would REALLY like to see that.
As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

Inside every old person is a young person wondering what the hell happened.
