Woke up and found a snapped coilspring
I had the pleasure of waking up and finding a broken coilspring today on the ZT today, what a nice start to the day :mad: that messed my whole day up, having to drive upto the garage in another car, then remove another spring off another ZT then repair mine at the roadside
Not a good day !!!! And after that I need a beer |
Mine went when the car was parked up, luckily :cool: But a pain all the same :(
|
Sounds like the beer was the good bit Mick..
I had a palava doing a spring on mine at the weekend.. had a few after that... ;) |
Yeah I know what you mean Kev but think back to the 50s we never had springs snapping then, maybe we might have the odd leaf spring snapped but not the whole leaf spring,obviously that was before I was born, but I still have experience of that type of vehicle.
|
yep - defo Mick, think I have only ever changed one or two leaf springs in the time I have had my morris minor..
modern cars eh... Kev :) |
75s/ZTs. Who'd have 'em?! :eek:

I have fitted new after market springs to cars that have failed in weeks, always exchanged under warranty but we are own worst enemies, what do we ask for when we are buying new parts? We rarely ask for the best parts but usually the cheapest. You should see some of the rubbish parts I am asked to fit to Classic cars, in come cases the 40 year old parts are better than the new white boxed part. |
