SWMBO's Citroen snapped a rear spring this morning on the way to work. Fortunately she'd only just set off & was only going slow. Daughter's car Mon & Tues  ..... now SWMBO's 🤔

Due to our immaculate roads, no doubt?

Indeed. The surface where it eventually failed has had sizeable ridges in it for years. Still, a cheap repair as things go .... £50 for the springs & a mate is fitting them tomorrow for £30. Airbags at the back of my R Class were £700 fitted ☹

Surprised she noticed, normally cannot tell. At least in the Omega...

I'll post a photo of it later ..... it's on its bump stops on the r3ar off side.... even she couldn't have missed it.

Ooops .... it's a bit big .... not bad for an old bugger on a phone though

The design of the spring and weight of the car are more likely to be the cause

When I post up piccies on the sites I frequent, I try to make things look bigger

That's what I thought when I ordered springs from that shit outfit Euroshiteparts. 3 weeks and *STILL* waiting for one, meanwhile the car is off the road.

Just so they look nearly normal?

Nearly. 


I was gonna post on your car ins thread cause I felt sorry for it, but you can eff orf now.

Wow, yeah can see that snapped 

Luckily I've got spare pair in the garage for when one of the 3.2's goes, surpassingly they are lasting well.
