0 gazzaw Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 I have used hydraulic oil similar to that used in bottle jacks in some refillable shockers Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the old Luvax lever type have brake fluid in them, with is not mineral, if you use a mineral oil it can effect the seal on the arm.

0 wally dugan Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 HI TONY in the factory workshop manual it says to types of dampers are fitted the woodhead monroe which cannot be adjusted or replenished and the armstrong which can be topped up but here comes the unhelpful bit it says top up with armstrong super shock absorber oil it is imperative to do so best advice l can give is ask the WOLSELEY ONWERS CLUB THEY MUST HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Hoseman Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 You could try Stevson Motors, 0121 472 1702. They specialise in rebuilding these types of shockers. You used to be able to buy shocks oil desperately. What about forks oil used in motorbikes? I'm a hydraulics engineer and can help decipher an oil code if not clear! Bottle Jack oil can be just an ordinary hydraulic 46 grade oil which is what I normally top them up with after repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
