Default New guy looking for advice

.
Hi first post here.

I'm looking for some advice on a problem I've got.

I've a bog standard, 2001 Impreza, 1.6 TS, Wagon. Chassis GG5

It's just failed on rear nearside ( passenger ) shock absorber.

With it being an older car, I don't really want to spend too much if I can get away with it.

Does anyone know if shocks off another model will fit ?

If so, I might be able to get one from a breakers yard.

If not...anyone recommend a good supplier.

Cheapest I've had from local dealers is £135

Tried Ebay and couldn't see anything on there, apart from one, but seller says won't fit mine.

Appreciate any help.

Cheers for that Blue.

If I end having to pay that amount of dosh, I may as well pay a little extra and get the pair.

Thanks for the link.

Got sorted with the shocks on link by Blue..Cheers mate.

Past MOT and on the road again...

Now it feels like clutch is on the way out.

160,000 miles on the clock....suppose I can't complain.

Euro Car Parts say £92 ish for clutch kit....is that good ?
