... shocks tested recently, working 'like new'.

An interesting point to remember - if you notice a little bit of oil-marks ('sweating') just under the spring-holder on the front struts, don't be alarmed. I had the suspension specialist shop quoting me for the shocks replacement because of this. Luckily I decided to check with official agent first, just in case. The guy (very pleasant & helpfull) laughed and said that's 100% normal.
