I'm having classic signs that my coil pack is on its way out. Looking at various sites prices seem to range from 80 -230. Expensive doesn't always mean they are better so do you have any advise

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, a

So my car failed MOT today due to the left rear coil spring having snapped. Mileage on 66K. (2012 2.0 cdti sri vx-line) I can't say I have noticed that the coil spring was knackered having driven the car etc.

Anyway decided to replace both rear coil springs so I've managed to source 2 Astra J SRI springs (Part No : 13340838) off eBay for 100 quid but have noted in the Haynes workshop manual that I should probably use new shock absorber bolts. 

Any

Hi there

My name is Eric and I am new to the forum. I was removing the wheels from my car to clean and prepare them for winter and noticed that the front coil springs have coil spring assister rubbers between the coils, 2 on each coil spring. What are they for?
My car is a 2015 65 plate Astra 1.4t Limited Edition.
