Unlucky fella, the same thing happened to Scott in his Mondeo earlier on this year - mind you the way he drives the cars over speed humps its no surprise.

Gutted for ye!

omg £200?!

seems quite high to me?

a set of springs aren't that expensive, why not save a bomb and do the work yourself?
Posted By: jonah Re: my suspension..... - 22nd May 2007 9:17pm
there £90 each coz of the car

£90 each?

You got a quote from anywhere else matey?

£60 for the two and fitting costs ontop of that would seem reasonable me thinks?

I know Scott's cost him over £200 for his Mondeo, and the Vectra must at least have somewhat similar pricing??

fair enough, just seems pricey.

anywho, its always good to shop around before splashing out your hard earned cash wink

try borough salvage for the springs then greasby car sales for the fitting, quite cheap and honest to.
