Front suspension leaking. Which replacement parts?

Hi Guy's,
2008 Flying Spur with the front suspension going down, I presume leaking.
Have seen these after market items on eBay (https://www.ebay.es/itm/402299265940) for 488euro for both left and right front with free delivery. 2yr guarantee.
Has anyone experience of these after market items?
Regards
Nigel.

Having had the very same issue on my 2007 GT happen last week and very mindful of the advice on here to deal with quickly I was also pondering the same question..

The UK ebay equivalent seems to be something like this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/For-VW-Ph...t/401875102389

There are a number of e bay listings hovering around the £350 - £425 mark for a pair.

Having had a reasonably wallet challenging last 12 months with an expensive EGT sensor repair I also wondered if anyone had successfully fitted the cheaper struts ( accepting this is a budget repair ) instead of the Arnott/Aerosus/RMT route - where there are a number of very helpful posts covering their + and - points. Thank you from me too.

Just in case this is of use to members in future........

I went ahead and ordered the parts ( I got a pretty good discount by contacting the seller on e bay direct ) and had fitted yesterday. 3 hours work for my indy.

So my front suspension issues resolved for a very reasonable price.

Hopefully they will last a while!

GT felt much better on the drive home, but only time will tell......
