Hmmmmmmm.
I'd all but given up the ghost on this, but out of nowhere I have just come across something.
A while back i posted this
https://kyb-europe.com/blog/double-hydr ... termarket/ and these would all but certainly be my preferred choice over Bilstein's or Monroe's.
I done a lot of websites where I enter the reg number and nothing comes up until I tried this.

Low and behold they are listing 2 versions of the KYB's as being compatible. One of the number 3348037 is very close to the 3348033 as described in the C5 aircross article.
I have just emailed the seller to double check they are comptible....... and I'd love them to say yes.
But it's a no..... just as i wrote the last sentence I received an email back...... FFS
Here is the result of compatibility check:
Unfortunately the spare part is available only at official dealers.
