Cheers Russ will do, by the way for other van owners this guy http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/jdsurplustuff has about half a dozen sets of Armstrong gas shocks for volvo 244s which when you swap over the bottom bush (dead easy to press out) will I,m assured will fit our vehicles about £20 +pp a pair , I will let people know how easy they to fit after the weekend.

Well the good news is that Volvo 244 shocks do fit Moggy vans, I had to use the minor bushes, slightly modified by grinding a bit off the rubber all round and the Minor inner sleeve for the top mount, The Armstrong shock bushes where dead easy to press out using sockets and a vice,
The ride seems a bit more solid now but I dont know if thats because the old shocks where shot or the new ones need a bit of driving to work properly, I,ve also Polybushed the rear of the springs as the old rubber ones had worn though, but as its monsoon season here at the moment I,ve only managed to do about five miles in the van.
