182 failed MOT - Offside Front Spring

[kiwiNCFC]

So... got the 182 back from the garage and it failed its MOT on the offside front spring which has snapped I need to get one within 7 days so they can re-do the MOT again.

Where can I get one from? I tried eBay but so many on there I don't want to get the wrong one :S Can anyone help me find one?

What sort of price do they go for?

Thanks!

You need to change both fronts really. I'd use the opportunity to get some sportlines or cooksports on there.

I got normal 172 springs . If thats any good ?

Hmm if I get a pair of front springs say apex/sportlines/cooks etc will the back look weird as they are standard springs? if its around £100 for all corners I might just get them all done

Get some Cooksports all round, only like £120

I'd bite the bullet and get the full set swapped out. The fronts are more fiddly to swap out that the rears - but still nothing too difficult.

I would replace the front pair as a minimum as the other side could also be coming to the end of its life. They are around £100 each (approximately) from Renault so not cheap.

I had exactly the same problem on my Cup. Replaced the lot with Cooksports.

just buy a patern part one from GSF etc (KYB, LESJFORS, MONROE etc) as a temporary solution if you get stuck, less than 30quid new, it won't fail the MOT because its not a cup spring

and before the clio police pipe up, its just a spring, it'll get him back on the road, its best to get Eibachs (approx 160 a set of 4) or cookies as mentioned above
