No John , the dampers are inside the coil over units. I will have to check whether these mounting points are used at all now.

MMC upgraded the hanger design as it can fail. Mine failed on one sided after spirited touring down to Naples & Sorrento. I had it welded up then replaced both sides.
Here is the parts book extract. Look at item 4.

Here is the typical failure of the old design.

Thanks for that, luckily the car has SSL 5 link with coil springs so I don't think this is applicable?

Are they direct from MMC or available via a dealer?

Don't worry Yanto, the 5 link is completely different & uses a much more substantial lower mount as below

Sorry Yanto seems I misled you.
John sorry no idea but if you take out the tool tray you can easily see what you have. Then while you are there spray the leaf springs with bike chain lube.
