Hey

One of my rear Konis needs a small part in the adjuster, where do I order from, and what oil do I use as I wore most of it down my front. (Or how many ml does the shock need to function properly)

OR how much and where do I send it to get rebuilt? by a pro..

I got my Koni's rebuilt by Wholesale Suspension in Penrith NSW for $185pr the first time. The second time the second set were pretty much past it and it came to $243 a pair. That was still a saving of over $100-120 on the cost of a new pair for that car (non-mini) for which koni's are rare and hard to find.

You could always ask if they'd sell you the parts since you already have it apart and given your location. I have no idea if they'd do this though.

Thanks Dr, once again you have got me out of the sh#t.

PS: anyone know what oil is used in the shock? I can buy some from PP but If I can get it locally would be better.

I'd try Toperperformance in Melbourne.Also dealers in Konis.
They know their dampers.

I wouldn,t waste my time with P.Products these days...
