:( Hello all

Had the car in today replacing the squeaky suspension bushes and indicator switch (pre MOT work) , and was told 'We found something else - your OSF Coil sping is cracked'. I dunno , Ive just spent about

Coil springs should normally be fitted in pairs.

Had this problem on my sdi. Relatively easy to do yourself, I bought springs, gas filled shocks and the bearing at the top for just over

I only done the one. Never mind , im sure the other one will break soon on the multitude of speed bumps i have to go over every day , so I'll put a new one on then. Incidentally , after having the suspension bushes and spring done , my Fabia is back to its nice quiet self , no squeaks creaks or groans from anywhere! (for now!)

I see , yes I understand why you'd put new shockers on when you had the car apart , when its done nearly 90K. I've just checked the MOT i had on the car when I bought it in 2005 and it had done 29700 back then , and only has 35500 on it now - so Ive had to change quite a lot (steering rack , spring , suspension bushes and an indicator switch) in less than 6000 miles!! I still like it though!
