So my ABS is sorted but I now have a snapped rear spring, how hard are they to replace? obviously I'll do both. I have spring compressors that lock and worked fine on my defender. Also where is a good place to source them?

Thank you all.

I'm in the same boat, one snapped spring on the ZT

Take a look here:

Seems straight forwards enough.

Changed my (first) rear spring last week following the 'how to' (:bowdown:).
All pretty straightforward, no spring compressors required. The only point at which i struggled was - in order to swing the anti roll bar out of the way, so you can get the arm down enough to get the spring back in, you need to undo the drop link on both sides of the car (obviously :o ). once that's done its plain sailing.
Got my spring from Seancar.

As a matter of interest, were you driving when it went or was the car parked when it happened?
