Rear shock identification / replacement
Can anyone help me identify this shock please? It's from an old MK Indy that I've recently acquired and am slowly learning about.
It's leaking and I need to either get it refurbed or find a suitable replacement
Any advice gratefully received

Its an old spax unit , probably just fit for the bin.I would buy a set of protech dampers of the correct length with new springs to suit the car.

measure open and closed lengths and end ID's, search ebay for replacements and re use springs if their ok too.

Second what paulf said ^^ deffo Spax - non-serviceable and looks very short spring length.
Protech via Matt at Procomp (on here) worth the money. He'll advise you on springs, ratings etc. and valve/oil them accordingly.
BTW his set-up service is second-to-none and well worth the money.
HTH.

And I'll second this, my car is sooo much better after a day spent with Matt and Ivan.
Forget ebay and the internet in this instance. You really will be waisting your money.
