Can anybody help me please? What might the useful life expectancy of front and rear shock absorbers be in mileage terms? My Bongo has done 75000 and I'm thinking it might be time to replace them.

Do they work?

That really is a "how long is a piece of string?" question. It really does depend on so many different factors.

AS TGP asks "Do they work?"

If so, they don't need changing, but if it bounces about all over the place and you aren't happy - then they need replacing.

the are some cheap polish copies about,beware of these,your original ones are probably better and will still outlast these new ones.

I've searched but can't find any reference to where to buy new or if there is a compatible type we can buy anybody know.

That's the ticket. If it ain't broke don't fix it!
