It transpired that the nearside spring had snapped....triggered only by me sitting in the car, prior to even starting the engine or touching the steering wheel.
My car has only 50K on the clock and is generally a lovely car. Clearly it's worth renewing front springs on both saloons and Tourers as soon as is practical..... I don't even want to consider what could have happened if I had been out on the road...!
Have any other Tourer owners had broken springs?

I started a thread on this pet hate of mine just recently, if you read it through you will get all the info you require. Mine went the same, at the time I threw my toys out of the pram and stupidly got rid of a fantastic car. There was initially a call back by Rover due to this fault, but when they went bust it was never implemented. In my initial post, just a few months ago I posted a copy of the recall on the post and thread,,,, should help you a lot. To be honest every time I get in my latest acquisitions a 2003 Tourer I wait for the bang!!!
Have a look under Caskin,I think we ended up with about 15 pages!
When repaired make certain you get protectors fitted it "Should" save your tyre!!
