Front strut wanted

Post by ghaddon1701 »

Hi all,
I need to replace one of the front struts on my BX as it is creaking and driving me round the bend. A re-con one from Pleiades is £120. So a none creaky second hand one would preferable please.

Regards

Defender 110, thank you so much for your post ! My front struts are grumbly and I've been thinking that I would have to replace them at great expense. But thanks to you I'm going to get an oil can and do my struts this week.

Cheers Kev
