Thanks Yak - the seals have gone on the damper. The ends of the damper are crudely spot welded in place - it wouldn't be easy to dismantle and repair.

It is looking like I'm going to have to spit up some blood and get a price from the manufacturers of the bakfiets... I'm going to ring the bike shop this morning - it was closed on Monday (welcome to the Netherlands!).

This has been marked up as yet another reason to buy a lathe. I could so easily make my own - and it would have been a nice enjoyable science project.
