Took the car to the Garage this week as the handbrake has never worked since I had the car so decided this needed sorting out. Got a call to say the caliper's had stuck. Guy said he could free them off and grease them all up etc. Then says you may want to come down and have a look at something !!!!
Get there and the rear drivers side spring had snapped and was resting on the fuel filler tube that goes down to the tank
After a day or so went back to collect the car and the chap shows me the snapped spring which had been broke for some time looking at the old spring. Strange one as the car had not dropped as the spring was virtually still in place due to leaning on the pipe. Also no strange noises but a lucky escape none the less. The chap in the garage has cleaned up my discs, replaced the pads, freed up and greased the calipers, greased all the bushes under the car and changed my rear springs for standard ones so now it looks like a Land Rover !!!!! Now looking for lowering springs or coilovers for it as I just can't look at it on standard springs so now got more money to spend on it !!!!!
