Can I call on the Cliosport Bullshit'o'meter... MOT failed on the Passat B8 - front (DCC) shock absorber leaking fluid after hitting a pothole (Council claim submitted). I asked on here about OEM quality aftermarket brands - the consensus was Monroe. Ordered from Autodoc at £115 a side, which...

Feel like that solves it as my power source is a 40m extension reel at the moment as I only use it for power tools in the shed... one wire for the camera run and buried down the garden would suffice I think? Or does that limit me to only PoE stuff and therefore more costly versus Rob's suggestion?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the technology but when you say "network cable that supplies the data and the power" that means one cable from my router to the camera, right, supplying both? I'd not need to plug it into the power source. The power to the shed is via a long extension cable at the...

Search didn't appear to provide results on PoE... Our shed is 40m from the house. We have power but no Wifi coverage. I'd like a camera on it after a few local issues. What are my options? PoE looks like the best route. We have a brand new EE router but unsure if I'd need additional equipment...

Fair :D Holts from Amazon at £8.99.

Bought the cheapest I could find and worked fine on damp and dog sh1t smells from winter walks. Sod spending £17 on the AutoGlym one!

Ordered and delivery today. Can't argue. Indi is being good about it too. Sounded like genuine surprise their parts supplier was significantly more expensive. Booked in and saved circa £400 on parts! *inserting a thank you Jamie and Cat.

Great tip. I was cheeky and shared a referral code with... myself. 10% and already saving £400 on the indie quote.

That was my thought and desire. Any ideas on one to choose for VW?

How reliable is Autodoc on right part numbers? The company I use for service and repairs, who failed the MOT, have come back with £630 for two front Monroe shock absorbers and seemed surprised their supplier (when taking off the extra fat on top...) isn't as cheap as Autodoc (which shoes £115...

Ta gents.

Do they have a good reputation for aftermarket? Never heard of the brand. Yes, im sure you’re right re Golf, Leon etc fitment.

Would anyone know the best OEM-standard, aftermarket replacement for Passat B8 front shock absorbers? The car has dynamic chassis control so would require electronic dampers.

From what I've read, it appears to be a K series type concern - i.e. similar engine in a different application ( K series was a small capacity/powered engine fitted to a heavier car like a Freelander). There is a design difference (unsure what specifically) between the CUAA engines in the...

A second daily tank has landed, earlier than I was considering but effectively (lucky me) inherited based on my father's despising dealerships and trade in. 2016 Passat B8 estate 2l BiTDI, DSG, 4Motion It was a press car, I am led to believe. It has every option ticked bar leather (suits me...
