Well a few trips further on and the left rear strut is permanently wet with oil but isn't dripping. I'm thinking of making use of these guys to rebuild our strut:
http://www.rebuildmastertech.com/me...pneumatic-suspension-strut-single-2303200213/
As we're sending ours to them and getting the same one back it should minimise (or eliminate hopefully) import duty.
Its a bargain compared to UK pricing!!!
By comparison:
Aerosus want £888 exchange
Arnotts want £1419 exchange (!!)
Other options:
AliExpress - £600 outright (hmmmm - this is almost tempting)
eBay - £350 used
New genuine (ex USA) - $1500 + shipping and taxes
