front dampers knackered

[penaul]

one of the dampers is knakcered in my cup now i know its best to replace both but is this a straight forward job and how much am i looking to pay

do it yourself, tools needed.
jack & axel stands
torque wrench
21mm swan neck spanner
21mm normal spanner
17mm spanner
set of allen keys
set of torx keys
hammer
long screwdriver
a bit of muscle
a mate

i did the job today, full set of front/rear springs and shocks. a torque wrench will make life a hell of a lot easier.
if you take to to a garage, i'd be expecting maybe £60

cheers is there a guide to do this in the guide section

yes, this one is for coilovers but its pretty much the same. it tells you how to remove the shocks etc, so its just remove old springs etc and put them back on the new shock then refit.
