    Default Front Spring

    No 575 (facelift model) has failed the MOT with an offside fractured front coil spring.

    Can anyone assist or point me in the right direction?

    Thank you fellas.

    I see they are both in stock now ( F/R )..but at the somewhat hefty price tag of £ 548.69 ( 4 ) plus delivery !! The Spring Manufacturer's I spoke to, said the price for a set of 4 would be ..half of that !!..Also..they could also make bespoke..uprated Springs for us !! Harry.

    Front springs at Rimmers are approx £100 each (including VAT)

    I'm sure Brian has some as well Colin, but it's a matter of price

    PS. Harry....................post with no CAPS...............so much better and easy to to read..............keep it up

    I would also look up South Lakeland Minis. They where a BL / Rover dealer and sourced a full set of rears and a single front for me all at a total price of £245.00 including postage. I had all the springs within 72 hours.

    One interesting point is...these MG Springs( Eibach ) mk1 or m11..Rimmers/ any MGR Dealers etc.....aren't they going to be EXACTLY ( had to get a cap in !! ) what's broken ..before ?????!!!! yes/ no ..????? Buggered if I want to buy something that's ..failed..before! Bad design/ bad materials/ or whatever the materials!!! ??? I think if we can get a guaranteed..British-made/ supplied Manufacturer..to make us Spring..which are guaranteed quality, at a good price, in pairs/ sets, which are..always available..surely this is got to be good news ???? And...uprated Springs...to our/ their suggested specs..again..surely a good idea ??? Harry
