Keep at it mate. I know that feeling. Remember that old Transit proverb 'Restoring a van is a long road but as long as you keep walking you'll get to the end,'

i have little choice but to keep going . It 's either spend money I can't afford or scrap it and lose money I can't afford.
If I spend another €2000 on it, I reckon it will be very sound and worth the €5000 it will then owe me. If I scrap it, I'll be lucky to see €1000 back (plus the two grand I won't have spent....) . No brainer, but finding a broken spring at €250 + P&P dosnt help....and they are not in stock!

Is it just one leaf thats broken? You should be able to get a new one put in if you can't source another complete

Diesel ones are stronger for the heavier engine.I forgot to look will check in the morning.Has yours got a single leaf as they should have.You could fit the diesel ones it will just sit a tad higher.

I've managed to source a pair of springs locally which will save me a fortune in postage. Thanks for looking though, I really appreciate it.
