Hi everyone, hope you’re staying safe.
I need to top up the shock absorbers on my 63 two door moggy. Can anyone tell me what they use and what SAE/W is best.
Thanks .

Hi djk , that’s just what I do! .
I’ve never had a problem but I would check the battery is fully charged.

I have a January 63 2 door that has the same glove box apertures as yours.
