Just get a small length of box and stick a hole through each end as temp shocker, at least it'll let you move it about. Cheers Rich

yeah i know.............. but is not the same as a nice shock

the other problem is that i dont have any box section left as my chassis has been well and truely finished for ages and i gave a load away when i moved house to save the extra donkey work moving it.

Hope you get sorted Ash, this will make you all sit up and take notice.
52 reg Audi RS6 replace shockers and re-gas and adjust settings £3,000 + and may not work properly said the nice receptionist,guess what I did.
Replaced them with a set of Billstiens.

spoke to dave at dampertech this morning. explained the situation and he said its pretty rare. he asked me to pop it in the post but as the address was only about 30mins away he agreed that i could pop down for a visit. went down to the gaz factory after work this afternoon and mark down there stripped it down found the problem in 2 mins. it was then fixed in 5 mins and i was back on my way home.

i really dont think you can get much better customer service than that. credit where credit is due. top bunch of chaps.

all i can gather is that one of the seals hadnt seated properly when it was made and as soon as it had a bit of weight on it the problem showed its face.

i didnt really push him to find out what exactly was wrong with it. but what i can say is the it now works again proper.

i was very tempted to take it appart when it broke but i didnt as i think it may have void the warrenty

thought so, like i said earlier in this thread, probably caused by a 50pence seal.
yeah it was a good idea NOT to take it apart yourself .

glad you are sorted again.
