MOT advisory

[Mick Evans]

Hi all need some help. On my MOT advisory it says shock absorbers light misting of oil nearside rear. When I get the next MOT it will fail because of this (used as a taxi).
Has anyone else had this and what was the cost of repair. Its a 22 plate MG5?
TIA

Thread 'Where to source rear shock absorbers from?'

Feb 20, 2026

Hi everyone,

My 22 reg LR has just hit 80k miles, and my rear shock absorbers have given up the ghost.
A friend of mine has offered to fit them, but he's been unable to get ahold of any.

Has anyone on here done the same job? And if so, where did you source the parts from?

Many thanks in advance

Does anyone have a video of how to change these? Looking to do it myself.
