I got quoted from Bilstein UK in Leicester Ԛ£60 per shock + VAT + Ԛ£12 return postage for the pair. :cry:

Im waiting for someone else to get back to me as to whether he can get me the seal/valve kit from Bilstein

Chibster and kermit both told me the front set on my car may have been rebuilt; and they are stiff as fuck! so it might be worth it
