So,, it’s two new springs. Two new complete top mounts and while we’re at it at 73,000 miles, most likely new struts to make it a proper 3 course meal!!!
Then there’s the issue of repairing the bonnet!!! 🧐🧐🧐
😩😩 It’s only moneyyyy!!! 😩😩

Well,,, finally got to jack her up and remove the road wheel to give it all a good coat of looking at,,, and would you believe it the spring is fully intact, no apparent damage to any components,,,,BUT,,,, i have discovered that the clown who replaced the offside spring at some point left of the bump stop cupped washer off when reassembling and the shouldered top of the strut is up within the mount rubber, this is why i now have bonnet damage!!!!!!
Rimmers have none and ebay seems devoid of the required washer.
Can anyone help me in this hour of need with an old spare or point in the direction of an alternative?? Does the Land Rover part RYK500200 fit???
