Got mine from a very nice man in Nottingham but they were still over £200. I'm sure you know who I'm on about.

I paid about £30 a side for mine from sutton autos in nottingham. Obviously saloon though, so not sure about estates.

I know WIM check springs, so wonder if its just happened?

In fact, due to the twin air supply in the Jimbob household, you should invest in air tools ;)

They did find one broken rear spring so I know he was checking. (and that car as I recall was one of the very few with good wishbone bushes  ;))
