The dreaded MOT is coming up soon and I need to check out my Elite Mig so that it is ready. One thing that is slightly worrying is that I heard a large bang from the rear of the car as I was parking it a couple of weeks ago. I am worried it may be a rear spring that has broke although on the face of it all appears OK with car (I have not had time as yet to have a good look underneath and also the weather has been foul)
Just in case I made a tentative enquiry with my friendly storeman at the local stealers who confirmed that Migs with self levelling suspension have a different part number for rear springs than those Migs without. If I do need a set I don't want to pay the exorbitant Vauxhall part prices, I looked at the prices for KYB springs which seem to be favoured on the forum. I couldn't seem to find a KYB part no for the springs for a self levelling Mig. Has any Elite owner on here fitted KYB's to the rear, can confirm that there is a different KYB spring for self levellers and if so knows the KYB part number?

Chrisgixer thanks for confirmation. The no in pic looks like RJ6227. If you get a mo can you confirm from any paperwork you have that I'm right. No hurry.

Just fitted new Boge ones from Autovaux £40 per side plus the vodka and tonic although they did quote £32 and promised to refund the difference and 4 weeks later haven't ... but the springs were ok

Thats interesting as ZF trading dont list a spring which supports self leveling.....

As for the KYB self leveling rear spring part number, it is:

RJ6227

Thanks for that. Just hope I don't need them. Will be having a good look at weekend.

Part number for ZF (Boge) rear coil springs for 3.2 V6 self levelling  is 25E490. When ordering make sure you get them to check spec against your reg number .

Mine have been on a year - no problems
