The way around the fitting difficulties has been well documented by Arctic. Good luck!

Thanks a lot Simon.
I can found at French suppliers the good RBM100240 reference: the best brands IMHO should be BILSTEIN, TRW or DELPHI. For example:

Any good advice on those?
Regarding the fitting I've recently got the official big ring binder which was commonly used at Rover dealer garages.
Anyway I'll have a close look upon Arctic's thread: thanks for the tip Simon!
But where I'd read it was a doddle?
