http://www.ohlins.com/distributor/gusto-technik-2/

or email the factory in Sweden for your nearest agent.

Yea I asked them they won't do it since it's a Mine's product and not a product directly from Ohlins... Edited by etang789

That sounds like a load of cobblers. My "Nismo" shocks are just rebranded Bilsteins and the local Bilstein dealer services them. Your Ohlins will similarly be rebranded and there is no logical reason why the agents shouldn't service them. Maybe you could try phoning or emailing Mines.

Also email Ohlins head office.

Been down this path with my set, thought that if they bear the Ohlins name they should be serviced as such. No dice. The guys in Melb refuse to touch them and claimed none of the parts are interchangeable while appearing put out by even having to talk about it. Ohlins said they understand but it's not their problem.

So they're Ohlins shocks...except when they're not.

Is it fair to blame Ohlins if their Japanese partner lets them down. JDM specific cars/components are now spread around the world but it would seem Ohlin's Japanese partner is unable to supply their JDM bespoke components to Ohlins global support network?

Ohlins isn't being let down, they are quite ok with the arrangement. Maybe someone else knows more.

That the local agent can't get parts easily or tap into a global network seems to further suggest that Ohlins is taking a 'JDM product for a JDM market' approach.

Give these places a call:

Fulcrum

MCA

Supashock

All of them are big shops and should be capable of doing it. And, while doing one - do them all or at least the sister side to the blown one. Otherwise they'll not be even, and likely if one is gone another isn't far behind making it $$$$ in freight and assache.

I have found a place that would service my set of Mine's Ohlins, but they said since the parts are obsolete they have to custom make or order parts that would take longer and more expensive. So at the end it would cost me a lot to service the whole set. Plus its not local, with shipping I think I'm better off getting a new set of Ohlins DFV.

Thanks!

I will give these guys a call see if they have better pricing.

      [HOW-TO] Winter Steam-Clean & Odour Removal in 30 min

      Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 馃ぃ, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up

      Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.

      We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
