The only way to do it properly is if you cut a coil out and weld the bottom on but thats a pain to do and shouldnt really do it.
And they were going round a roundabout and the spring popped out and ran someone over

Well if they advise not to cut springs im thinking it will be just as dangerous to cut them and then reweld them!

If they are welded properly its better but still not great

It just failed its MOT so now selling it because i cant afford to fix it lol

I personally think welding them back up is just as dangerous if not more dangerous then cutting them..

How is it that you cant afford to fix that yet you've just got yourself something a whole lot more modern which i would assume would be more to buy and even more to insure.

Edit: a quick search on ebay is turning out prices of in the 8-9k reigon. How is 8 or 9k cheaper than what it would cost to fix that...
