Sorry if it has been asked before but how hard is it to change the rear shocks on your bog standard 206? (1.4 2000) I am keeping the car for as long as poss and the ones on there are the original ones. Garage wants £265.

Cheers Very Happy

The job is really easy and it is not really worth taking it to the garage if you are confident

Two pairs of nuts and bolts....possibly the easiest job on the car. Unless they are seized!

If they are seized heating them up usually works

Get a wire brush clean the bsck of the threads & apply a small amount of wd40 on the threads then Undo.

Buy new nuts & bolts before you start the job & just use a grinder OR hot blue spanner.

How do you hold a blue hot spanner?
