Yea went strait to fk the dealer where i got them were't intrested cos they are out of warranty by 3 months but as i said these dampers should last longer than 15 months and 3k miles the guy @ fk was very helpful and happy that id brought the problem to his attention as he said "thats looks a bit dangerous"

definately a result then.

and damn right they should be pleased if you've brought a manufacturing fault to their attention without any serious accidents or injuries.
think if they kept pumping them out with faults and a set failed at high speed. imagine the compo they'd have to fork out.

from the pics its looks like the whole plate rusted through rather than the welds breaking.
