Re: springtime
Oh noes!!!!!!
Not another one
You'll know because the ride goes really choppy - maybe it's not dropped the ride height too much for some reason?
I have a confession to make about my broken spring - it actually happened overnight on my drive
I realised what it was when I pulled away in the morning and saw that I could nurse it along for 3 slow miles with the spring just touching my already worn out tyre all so that I could call the AA for recovery as I don't have home start (3 mile radius rule)
So it seems they mostly fail on their own when parked up
Hope you get it sorted ok Puggy!!

...for Hitler and Germany!
Ohh, no, not again! Will the replacements be the same length? All there seems to be here is OE (Outragiously Expensive?) parts, unless I want to scrape the thing over every bump in the road

Re: springtime
Update !! took it to the garage told the mechanic i thought a spring
had gone, first words out his mouth, common on them at that age
jacked up had a look at it and its broke at the top not the bottom where
they rust. No sign of rust in fact lovely black paint still
