Hi All,
I just had a mot done today and it failed due to driver side rear the coil spring is broken.

Are they easy to change ? Do you buy them new or used from ebay ?

Where do you buy your parts from or do you use the local dealer like General traffic who sells car parts and consumable.

Do you need to change the one which is damaged or do you need to change the pair.

I very hardly drive the car and I and drive carefully and I am very surprised the coil spring is already broken, as the car has only done 38,000 miles and I got the car around 30,000miles. I never noticed when I am driving the car, that coil spring is broken.

Are they common problem in Astra 1.7cdti 2011 5 door.
Rear spring personally I would only buy new and replace as a pair. But that's me
