excossack Member Since: 22 Feb 2012 Location: North West Posts: 5884	Rear springs - which way up? New rear springs arrived today. But which way up? Closer spring coils/grey plastic bits at the bottom or at the top? Click image to enlarge 1999 Defender TD5 110 Regards John M0VAZ Econet Station 48 no clock
