kni dampers bust

[rwilkinson 0]

hi guy after a bit of advice. the koni dampers on the front need changing. do you know anywhere i could get just 2, or should i change them all. the guy at the garage that fitted them in 94 says for 50 quid he'll dig out the paperwork and get the model numbers and stuff. but i don't know whether it matters if the front are new and rears old? thanks

£50 just to find the paper work omfg what a rip off

shop around mate, not sure if you can get two, though I would have thought so tbh. £50 IS F**KIN CRIMINAL, i'd have to tell him that too, don't pay that whatever you do, thats half a damper

Koni's have a lifetime warranty on them, so get the paperwork and send them back! Did it with mine and got a new set straight away, no questions asked.

yeah you can buy them separate cause i bought some for my rs2000 and they were £100 a corner !

i would do what six says, shouldnt the part numbers be on the shocks ?

thanks. well worth looking into the warranty. £50 what a joker! i found somewhere yesterday in leicester selling pairs for £210 inv vat. If they are under warranty i'm really gonna enjoy callin that bloke again.

I'm in a similar position, though mine were damaged when I hit a pot hole and they're just over a year old.

I was gonna replace them but found out there's a 3 year warranty on Koni's so thought I'd ask supplier how I stood. Here's his reply:-

"Hello there

Sorry to hear about the dampers. The normal warranty process is, if the dampers are less than a month old they are replaced. After that time new dampers have to be purchased and, the cost of carriage, fitting and parts are chargeable to the customer whilst the warranty process takes place. The warranty parts are then sent to the supplier for testing, and after we receive the manufacturers report it can then be decided whether or not a refund is applicable. As these parts are now over a year old, we would have to follow the warranty process as explained."

If yours are 10 years old it looks like you won't be able to claim, but I'd certainly be interested to hear how you get on.

Mine are bust and are one year old.

rwilkinsons are also bust but were originally fitted in 1994 and therefore 10 years old
