The inevitable happened this morning and front o/s spring snapped. I'm hoping to replace as soon as, but I can't check the car for the spring codes under the rear seat as I'm now at work (after borrowing swmbo's car). Are the ones from ECP OK to use (on a diesel)?

I guess I ought also to change the bearings and drop links while I'm in there as well, again they'll have to come from ECP if I'm to get the job finished by Monday.

Also any recommendations for spring compressors, will have to be able to obtain locally so Halfords or ECP I guess, any recommendations, or anyone local to Northampton willing to loan some?

Thanks In advance
