So green/green spring code as they are probably original equipment, and god only knows for dampers.

The genuine dampers appear to be out of stock at Rimmers, and SLP for the springs.

Any suggestions for a 2004 ZT diseasel

What would you do ?

Well it'll do you good to remember these old bangers aren't worth anything anymore Jim, so if it breaks down on the way you can torch it and get the bus home

So I need weld the broken springs and a bit of matching duct tape on the dampers then?

Sorted

Good quality duct tape is damn expensive.
