thanks guys, so i guess the shock model required is still the same on the 2007 and onward defenders. was worried as eshocks only list up to 2007.

Just a bit of advice, I noticed that a 2008 130 I was working on has factory fitted high quality gas charged shocks, after 60,000km of very hard work they seem to be holding up well. 1 has some physical damage due to rocks, but only the bottom pin suffered. If the 2007 is fitted also with these shocks, they IMO would be a leap forward from the factory oil units of the past, which actually lasted quite well.
You may well find that unless you go for a good quality european shock like Sachs Boge etc you may be getting a worse outcome than factory.
Certainly stay well clear of garbage like Pedders, Rancho, OME, Tough dog etc etc etc.

Are the originals Armstrong? I see they are quite cheap from the UK. Do they fall into the 'rubbish' category?

:rocket:
Jeff, no Armstrong written anywhere on them, LR part number and name, shock body LOOKS like Boge, but not 100% sure. Definately different to early Tdi/td5 oil shocks etc.Quote:

Woodhead were the OEM shock supplier for quite a few years AFAIK. Has that changed?
