Hi,

Can anyone tell me what kind of springs im looking for? ive been on Ebay and there seems to be 2 kinds but since im no mechanic i havnt got a clue! ive seen kinda cylinder shape springs and the other more a fat bubble shape! hope someone can understand what i mean :oops:

I have a guy who is going to fit it for me but was told i had to buy the part and as he lives a bit away he cant have a look for me so hoping 1 of you guys/gals out there can help :wink:
Cheers

Liz

Go to www.eurocarparts.com and tap in your reg no; it should list the correct springs in the suspension section. I'm sure one of the other guys with service box access can give you the proper pug part number :)
Sorry your post got missed Liz, I'm thinking Friday POETS day and everyone was thinking "PUB"!
Welcome on in! :)

I take it you have been able to confirm that one of your springs has broken?

Teamy's suggestion is spot on if you want standard springs and euro's are probably your best bet for the correct part and price.

Check that your guy fitting them is experienced and has the right equipment, if it's someone who's trying to help and will 'have a go' at fitting then then be *very* carefull - there's been some horific injuries with springs letting go at the wrong moment :shock:

You will be surprised at the length of it when you see it in the flesh and then it has to be compressed down to fit in your housing. If it's not handled correctly then it can shoot off across the room :o
