My Chimaera is fitted with Nitrons all round and unfortunately the front nearside has blown (as I discovered today when I nearly understeered off the road on a bumpy bend yikes)

Is it possible to service these or will I need a replacement? If so can anyone recommend a supplier?

These can be rebuilt, the rebuild is £50.00 (including nominal parts: all seals, shims, oil, gas)
per shock plus parts, plus VAT and P&P.

Thanks for the replies smile

GreenV8s it may seem obvious to suggest Nitron, but they wouldn't have been open when I discovered the problem with the car and sometimes suppliers won't deal with the public directly. It can also be cheaper going via an intermediary - ie Eibach won't sell below rrp, but their parts can be bought at a discount from other suppliers...
