Definitely worth a rebuild mate. They're not a common aftermarket manufacturer, but they make very good products - fitted as standard to a lot of ducatis and aprilias, and also I believe of late the BMW sports bikes!

Been quoted around £300 for rebuild and that dosent include any painting of parts- and i would want the spring re- powder coated- so i will probably pay the extra to get a new Ohlins for 495...

THat seems a tad ott to be honest mate. Personal recommendation, FireFox racing. They used to (I would imagine still do) offer a rebuild for between £100 to £150, maybe a bit extra for powdercoating the spring
