This is the interesting bit.

I understand what you're saying Mark but if that was absolutely true wouldn't it be possible, with the car resting on its wheels, to undo the damper's fixings and just slide it out? But that's not possible.

As Kearton has said, the damper is partially compressed. It contains gas under pressure so doesn't that provide some support to the body, albeit much less than the spring?

As I said before it's quite Simple Simon try it on you car and let us know the results then we will have the evidence that you are usually so keen on
