Thanks chaps.

What's the betting I forget to line up the drain holes!

I can't find marinabrian's method - anyone got a link?

Actually, looking at this pic, maybe it's the isolators themselves that cause the springs to snap - i.e. they're too hard and are forcing the bottom coil to try and uncoil itself against the rest of the spring, causing a stress fracture. When mine snapped (both of them) the break was exactly where the spring starts to wrap round the isolator.

Here's the isolator on its own - https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-RKB100970
