Yeah, there is one other way to avoid going to the dealer.
Buy a bag for the suspension, install it yourself, buy all the computers that the Rover needs to reset the system, and there you go.
Huh. DIY is not yet in the MkIII forum? And LR dealer??
The older MKIII's are now 8 years old (in Europe) and prices have come down to the low teens in €'s for an ok vehicle. A L&R strut change at the dealer is upwards of €2500. It simply does not make sense to spend 1/6th of the vehicles value on items such as this - especially when there are very viable alternatives.
Unless you've done some seriously long, seriously hard driving, there is little chance you've damaged the strut itself and, while it may make sense to replace the strut as a unit with enough miles on the vehicle as gw2doc posted above to avoid 'going in' twice,
Arnott charges $329 for a rebuilt strut - that's $500 less than AB. (YOU're welcome, rad

). I wouldn't change the shocks on any vehicle when it's not necessary, that goes for the RR too (I would replace both sides at once as also stated above, though).
As for 'buy all the computers that the Rover needs to reset the system', that's just silly. There are enough alternatives - just see the diagnostic forum here on this board. With the money you've saved on the struts, you can easily purchase one of these
from board member Storey Wilson at
http://www.rswsolutions.com/ and still have enough left over for an all-frills romantic weekend with the woman. Or even buy the complete Blackbox Solutions setup for your vehicle and have enough left over for beer for yourself and your buddies (so you can change all sorts of vehicle settings while drunk!).
DIY or find an indy to replace the airbags. Dealer - :snooty:
