Thank you. I buy from a variety of sources. Some direct, some through auction, some brokers and others via wanted ads. To be honest sourcing is a full time job in itself!

I had one spring changed on the advice of a mechanic (and coincidentally the same person who MOT’d the car). This is not lazy or dangerous in anyway. RE MOT checks, as mentioned these pre-checks are simply the basics that one may as well do prior to an MOT. Obviously we can’t checked everything however my attitude is that if the car failed or was advised on anything potentially dangerous I would then have that item replaced before re-testing. Finally, I didn’t paint the remaining spring. I have no idea where you got that from. So thank you for your rather sour and pointless comment but you are wrong on several levels!

@@JohnnyGetsCash @8:56 springs trailing arm repainted etc so no bother. . Stick to polishing and sending your cars out for a service incase you get your nails dirty.

@@MonkeyHunch1 Maybe I should’ve clarified in case of keyboard warriors…re-coated (with corrosion inhibitor which is painted on).

@@JohnnyGetsCash Corrosion inhibitor should never be used on mechanical parts. It actually says that on the bottle / can. . And i would say it to your face not just on the keyboard.

Thanks! This was a product called ‘303 protectant’ - it’s awesome stuff!
