@@Blitz9287 Totally agree - here in the Tameside (Greater Manchester) the roads have been shocking in last few years……if it is not major potholes and surface degradation, then it is the very extreme speed humps in some areas that you have to contend with……no fun in my partner’s small runabout car……a mk2 Smart with tiny front wheels and narrow track up front……in last two years it has cost us new front springs on both sides up front……we are seriously looking to shift it on now as it just does not cope well with the roads around these parts. Brought it up with us from Hampshire 6 yrs ago when we relocated and now I wish we had left the damned thing there - roads around here just seem to shake it to bits……and don’t even get me started on the state of the surface in Asda car park in Ashton-under-Lyne where it goes twice a week 😮😮

Enjoy your holiday Lee. Seems like a lot of dealers are avoiding VW/AUDI these days, even the french stuff seems to be more reliable and easier to fix. We deal with a small but very busy multi drop delivery firm here, the Peugeot Citroen vans seem to go on forever but do cost an absolute fortune MOT time. The Caddys just keep letting folks down, just can't take the abuse if worked hard. Different story in the 1990s though.

Springs are lighter these days for better performance, thinner spring less mass to rebound so better ride and roadholding, unfortunately they break, back in the day springs hardly ever went, seized top mounts means that the spring twists rather than the mount that causes them to snap, I'm just doing one on a corsa and tbh the broken one looks fairly new.
