I foresee some sizeable repair bills ahead...
Have you done the handbrake compensator (modified or R50 Bini one)?

My own car passed at least 4 MOTs with two broken springs. They are very difficult to see the break. I didnt notice 3 years, and the car always felt very taught, so wouldnt show on the spring tester

DMGRS have a pre order deal on new arms (almost half the price I paid about 5 yars ago).
