So what have you done to your car today?

[Doctor Gollum]

I know a man who might have a pair of plod rear springs. If not will have a look at the Kilens. 

I made the suggestion on the basis that plod are a tricky find, but yes, that would be the preferred route, followed by the Kilen option

Plenty of Kilens on ebay, but no mention of HD.

Took the Range Rover out of the garage to search for a lost dog !
Met a woman while we were out walking our dog this morning who was very distraught her dog had run off after some Muncjack deer a couple of hours earlier, so when we got back I told SWMBO that I was going to drive over to the other side of the farm as that is where the majority of the deer gather, my hunch was spot on found the dog & returned to owner my good deed for the day.

Well done, Mick

Strange how different opinions vary on shocks and springs.

I fitted a set of B4 rear shocks a while back and within 100 miles took them favour of the Sachs that its wearing now.Found the B4,s way to harsh a ride but maybe being stiffer would also help with HD springs.Think they are still out in the shed somewhere even in the boxes assuming the mice havent eaten them

Will investigate further if I can find HD rear springs

Cheers Al,...what denotes them as HD as looking at their catalogue same rear spring through out range as we know the spring is std for all saloons

[Doctor Gollum]

Cargo vs normal without opening the table back up

[amba]

Thats what I would of expected in their detail but only differs between Estate and Saloon ...no mention of Cargo or HD

[Doctor Gollum]

Standard Omega saloon:
p/n 71026 Vauxhall, wire diameter 15,00; spring diameter 156; length 252; end style I I (pigtail top and bottom)

HD Omega saloon:
p/n 60037 Vauxhall, wire diameter 16,00; spring diameter 154; length 246; end style I I (pigtail top and bottom)

Page 132 of the catalogue pdf and the technical reference table from page 159

Estate HD is 60038 for reference

I may be interested in those B4,s if you arent planning on using them, Andrew.

Thank you so much for the concise clarity as always Al.It's much appreciated .

Albs/re shocks I may go back to them with the Kiken springs as Al suggested tbh but if my plans change I will let you know however they have been in an outside shed for several years so condition may not be great anyway .

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Cheers. Let me know if you decide to shift them on.

If they're manky and rusty they'll suit an omega perfectly
