Rear Springs

Daft question 101

I have bought some nearly new springs from a mate.

Doing the rear first, well trying to!

Daft question, are the rear springs handed? Drivers passenger side? Both have red, yellow and green paint marks but other than that they look identical. They are off a 2015 Puma and I have a TD5, they better fit! Bottom, or maybe top, of Spring has a plastic cover on. So which way up and are they different?

Oh and had to take the top shock mount off and while using an angle grinder it slipped and caught the breather pipe from the fuel filter! Feck. Do I have to replace the whole pipe or is a fix possible. Not cut all the way through but enough!

I should pay someone to fix my Landy rather than do it myself! Always f'k it up hahaha

Some are handed others not, if they've got the same paint code markers they are not.

Plastic bit is a spring wrap around isolator, it goes at the top. (Obviously leave it in situ, where its placed).

Breather pipe, search K9F's cracked breather jointing solution. That might be a fix?

Is the breather just on the rubber hose? Self amalgamating tape if so. Clean it up thoroughly before you repair it.
