My 2010 Lunar Clubman SI came with the shocks already fitted. However, early this year, I decided to have a look at them and found they were very rusty; I presumed that after 14 years of fairly regular use, they m8ght be past it, so I ordered a new set of Alko shocks (red cover). I fitted them in the drive without removing the wheel, just jacked the van up a bit and put an axle stand under the axle and steadies down. It was very easy, took about 30 minutes a side to change, including jacking removing bolts and torquing new shock mountings. Well worth doing. I, too, felt a slight improvement over the old shocks.
Brilliant, the problem I hade was limited space on muddy ground. They have made such a massive difference to my towing as my Qashqai is at it's max tow weight. Adding spring savers to the car has also prevented bottoming out. Its great that your shocks are making a difference.
