Just received my brand new Group N Billie shocks and noticed some oil around the top of one of them. Further inspection shows what appears to be a small crack as seen in the photos. I can't separate the crack further by pushing on it, so I'm not sure if it actually cracked?



What do you recon?

Good thanks mate. Paul has been a star sorting out my flywheel issue and fitted my Group N front shocks. Car is sitting a bit low for my liking but it should handle sweet.

Flywheel will be going back to Miles, as it starts fine now so must be an issue with the lightened one.

Hopefully off to goodward on sat, so might make it up to Pug fest on the Sunday. If your tickets finally arrive and you have some spare, keep one back for me if you can. Cheers

Thought this was about new shoes.

Disappointed.
