    Mot

    Took my 300tdi in for an mot yesterday (dread mot`s) just to see what it would fail on and how much it was going to cost luckily it only failed on a broken coil spring which i knew about, ive got a spring so will fit it and take it back. Last year it cost quite a bit of cash to get it through...

    Coil spring fitting

    I have a broken front coil spring on my 300tdi, how hard is it for a novice to do and would i need a coil spring clamp to remove the broken one and re-fit the new one or can it be done without a clamp. Cheers Archie
