just a heads up for everyone, had my car in to get MOT'd yesterday, and one of the rear springs had snapped, unknown to me, car was sat at same height, feels the same to drive, and havent herd any banging or squeeking, when i got the springs they said they have a lifetime warrenty, they dont, they have a 2yr warrenty, and they want the spring back (to inspect) before they send a new one out, i shot the old ones out so had to go buy two new rears ones yesterday, renault wanted £123 or so for the cheapest set, i got two uprated ones from a broker for £25, of a no milage car, springs look new, so im almost happy.

snapped!?!?1 jeeezus thats not good, i dont know much on springs but i thought that would equal a catastrophic failure if that happened.

hope it gets sorted

Ive took a pic of it on my phone, will stick it up when i get chance, couldnt tell tho, car was sat at same height, no creeks or bangs, and handling was fine, got two standard springs on the back now and it feels fecking horrible to drive, if you give it some the back end feels like its lifting and wobbeling all over. not good, and the company i got them from arnt half farting on, ive had to pester the life out of them to get them to pull there finger out, pretty p!$$ed off, might try saying my damper got knacked in preocess and see if i can get some upgraded dampers for free.
