did you notice the plastic casing on the coil springs are flaking off.

2 of the dampers are leaking. the rear one is completely blown now.

pretty sure they can be regassed if they're not totally ruined. but then you've got the issue of the adjustors probably seized. so i would just go ahead and get a new set, or persuade the company you bought them from to provide you with a new one!
