I am kinda in surrey / misddlesex area and need to get a set of magura durin SL's serviced, i want a proper service on them. The website is pretty crap at saying where they can be serviced, its surely not a send to service centre job? if so anybody got their contact details?

Send them to Magura is the best way.. 80 odd quid plus postage. Easy to do a lube service but if you need bushings and what not best get them to do it.

Durin's are really easy to do a full service, I've done a few. I've got some detailed instructions if your confident enough to have a go yourself

This set had a slight leak recently so I want to get them looked at properly. Any clue where to send them? The ashby address?

Here's the address:
c/o Mike Jenner
Magura Tech Support
Eurobike
Unit B
Grampian Building
Sinfin Industrial Estate
Sinfin Lane
Derby
DE24 9GLMike's a good bloke, although he's just back from holiday and only does Magura stuff part-time, so you may have a bit of a wait. Email him (at the email zbonty gave above), and he'll probably send you his phone number so you can book it in.
And make sure you give the fork a good clean before you send it in!
Which bit is leaking by the way? My Durin's have been great, apart from the FCR travel adjust unit which keeps failing

Offrhebrakes - just the right stanchion was leaking a bit of oil while doing the trans Provence. They still worked but the mechanics on the race weren't really interested, has a quick look and said, your rebound still works, cleaned the legs and sent me away. They weeped a little each day but kept working. The mechanical support is the only very minor criticism of a truly awesome event. So now I am home I want them sorted. Might have been the height we were at but I doubt it, not much leaking back home.
So this mike fella is official magura support?

Yes Mike is the official UK Magura support.
As for weeping oil onto the stanchion, that's what they are supposed to do, it shows that the seals are staying lubricated. I wondered about this at the start, but spoke to some Magura guys at Mountain Mayhem and they said it was fine. If they stop weeping a little oil, then its probably time to do the small lube service (video on the Magura website).
Give Mike a call anyway if you're worried, he'll tell you what the score is and advise you whether you need to send them in or not.

My Durins always have a little tide mark on the stanchion, I second the above.

Cheers for that I'll give him a shout on Monday. It just seemed a bit more oil than I'd expect, I guess the dust and dirt might have exaggerated it a bit, when dirt sticks to the oil it seems to be more.
