    Rear Sachs

    Hi, I collected my new trophy yesterday (437) and the rear dampers have been changed by one of the previous owners to the normal 182's. I am wanted to go back to the original Sachs ones. Can you still buy new rear Sachs dampers from renault or will I have to hunt else where? Thanks.
