Finephilly that's not a full service.

A lot of places will be very booked up, still recovering from being short staffed and in demand. If it's Fox then Fox UK might be quicker. Otherwise a semi local suspension service place might be able to get it in sooner. At pedals in Edinburgh we are booked up until about the same time as TF but might be able to get something in sooner, or if you are further north then Basecamp Suspension. For England, not sure! What has broken?

Sprung in the Forest of Dean or J-Tech near Shrewsbury (I think) have good reps.

Or do it yourself. My ham-fisted mate did his a while ago and nothing's fallen off so far...

I changed the foam rings too and you should really change the crush washers or the oil leaks.
Changing the oil makes the most difference though as it gets thinner with use.

No, £15 for the dust seals between lower legs/stanchions. Foam rings were extra. Air seals on mine are just rubber o rings which were ok. I reused the crush washers which i might get away with but should have put new ones on really. Left everything else. They are alps 32mm.
