HELP !! Urgently need self levelling shock absorber in order to pass MOT. Anyone got one?

If you can't dine one you can put a normal shocker on it for the MOT.

The shocker that was sent to the garage by the factors (presumably for a Granada?) had the wrong fitting on one end. The correct ones that I sourced were very expensive.....Is there a non self leveller for the Scorpio?

Are we talking about an Estate ?. If so read This (http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=admin;action=display;num=1282569538;start=20) and see if it helps. Check out the links in the posts as Stuart (Highlander) fitted non self levelling to his with no problem. ;)

Thanks for your help guys. Still looking but not so urgent now as I persuaded my mechanic to clean up the unit and re submit for test. It passed but I realise this is only short term.

P.S. Yes, it's an estate.

There was something about a replacement equivalent, is that the one? There isn't another topic about it?
