Had my mot yesterday, and it passed thankfully. but only just, got a nice list of advisories to be getting on with.

brakes need adjustment - no problem.

steering damper rubber bush almost fucked - no problem.

front wheel bearing needs adjustment - no problem.

the problem is with the springs. they are beginning to bend the wrong way round. I dont overly want to use add a leaf but im pretty skint as usual.

ive found some standard ones online here

does anyone know what sort of quality they are or if they last?

how badly are they bending the other way? and is it front and back? i have a pair of standard rears you can have for postage if thats any help? no lift or anything but better than flat.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON'T GET SPRINGS FROM JAPANESE4X4SPARES!

Well, the front ones are alright....I think. Don't touch the rear ones with a barge pole.
