    You can fit them yourself - it's not horribly complicated. But if they are front shocks you will need to set up your steering geometry once the job is done.

    Lots Of UK sites sell parts but most seem not to post to ireland - The saving does not seem to be that much.
    motor factor is probably the best place to start.
    get the phone book out and start checking with them.
    i got quotes from 70-90 euros a piece or 40 each from scrappy.
    my Bro ended up gettin them for me for 45€ new:D
    I believe there are 2 types - gas and oil - the gas ones are more expensive.
    Just changed them on my car this weekend.
    First 1 took 3hrs (cause i didnt have a 14mm spanner :mad: so had to go find one at 730 on a friday evening fininshed the job in the dark with a little torch)
    Second one took less than an hour.

    Spring compresser From halfords 30€ (or 21 if you have a trade card :D:D )
