@AJP cheers for that mate. Yeah they're 3 1/2 years old which isn't old enough to expect that to happen.

We're actually a KW dealer at work so I spoke to one of the main guys for KW UK (about 6 times in 48hours) and we ended up at 25% discount and if I send the broken spring back they will do full analysis on it. Bollocks deal really but their perspective is they have no idea what stresses and strains the spring has been subjected too and hold no responsibility unless it's proven to be a defect.

There's probably a cleverly-worded disclaimer of sorts hidden away in the little booklet you get in the box, that makes it easy for them and hard for the consumer, with this kind of thing.

I suppose 25% is something though.

The main thing - you were crawling when it happened, and you and the rest of the car are ok. Can't imagine how I'd deal with a front corner suddenly dropping at speed

Yeah you're always up against it with big companies like that. Yeah made I big big noise but didn't throw the car off much at that speed. About a minute earlier I was well into the fun part of the speedo so tbh I just thank f*ck that wasn't the end for me and or the car

Sh*t... that's a bit scary to think about. So don't think about it

Onwards and upwards!

Issue though is I know Dan subjects his springs to a lot of stress.
Especially his bed springs...

I think you are partially to blame for that.

Epic thread, Epic car! Looks lovely and goes like stink - loving the OZ's, they're as little old school and must say I do like the red accent on the splitter not seen that before Scary with the spring but as you said lucky you weren't doing motorway+ speeds when it happened 

Wish i had the time and money to do this kind of build, maybe one day!

Hahahaha! I've stayed away from the forum more than a year, of course you've change wheels again.
Those black Superturismo are perfect for your gray car, Dan.

Is this car still alive Dan :)

Also, wanted to know where the alloy expansion tank is from?
