£338 + VAT  :o   I think my rear springs were about £40 each all in a few months back (cant find the receipt). Did you mean £38 +vat each ?

They are only £40 each brand spankers, and considering decent ones last 100k easy, seems a bit tight to get scrappy ones!

£80 is a lot of money to some people at times Tunnie.We dont all live at home with mummy and daddy.When you,ve lived a life, with its ups and downs you might realise. ;)

There is also the fact that the car may well get scrapped at the end of this year so I dont see the point of spending any more dosh than is necessary on it.

Its still false economy... as they are unknown. Scappy ones would most likey be rusted heavily as the car could have been sitting there for ages.

There are places to penny pinch, brakes & suspension are not.
