Had the willy MOT'd today after being garaged for 3 months, thought it was fine but had some bad new when I went to pick it up after work. Falied on the following...
Snapped front spring :shock: Happened while testing!
Snapped handbrake cable....Was freyed then snapped in test!
Horne not working...loose wiring I think after hitting badger :lol:
Parking light failure due to handbrake.

Joy....ten days to fix it, can't wait :roll:

Is it generally best to change both front springs or can you get away with changing one?
