shock absober choice

My Disovery failed its MOT on the front shock absober lower bushes. They were shot to say the least. Thought I'd have a go changing them after watching a guy on Youtube giving a demo on how to do it. Now the guy had already loosened all the nuts and was possibly in Florida. I live in Essex with crap all over the nuts/bolts after not being touched for 14 years. So it only took an agonising three hours to undo all the bolts LOL!!! Now I have seen on Ebay new bushes, however the vehicle has done 110K so might aswell change the shocks complete. So my question is what do people recommend as a direct replacement without spending silly money. Also is there any ones I should completely avoid. Thanks in advance Jeremy

You can get a set of 4,OEM replacements by Allmakes for £68.00 devered.

Its fair to say the ones on your car will be shot !.
 
If its only for road then Armstrong £12 specials from paddocks probably badged as britpart but are probably armstrong or similar
 
I got full set of HD springs n shocks from mm4x4 for £180,super gaz shocks and brit part springs. completely changed my disco i didn't realise how dead my old ones were until i got new ones on and it actually lifted it up like 2", no they weren't 2" lift springs ;) haha. But yeah its killer to get the bolts off, especially on front shocks i found, i ended up grinding top bolts off.
