Did some haulage work a few weekends back, then some fooling about in the snow. This w/e a trip to the cotswolds and while we were there did a tip run.
On the way back I thought that some of the potholes felt a bit worse than normal. Had a quick look when I got home to find that it appears the shocks have leaked most of their oil over the springs and, wheels and rear.
Now added a pair of shocks to the to do list.

The ride quality is so much better now. £22 for a pair of shocks and it's like a new car! The whole family has commented on the improvement.
