The springs on the rear of my Senator are odd, taken these photo's for your thoughts / opinions:

(Also can you comment on how quickly the photos download, thanks  )

Never dealt with a Senny, but the N/S one looks unusually short.  They both look newer than the rest of the car?  I'd replace them both soon, no telling what they do to the emergency handling.

Pics were quite slow.

Pictures should load faster now, my hosting server was playing silly buggers.

Cheers Graham... bit annoyed at the odd springs. But will have to get that sorted. Pair of V6 springs on ebay from an Omega being broken but he wanted £40 for a pair of used ones, too expensive i thought.

Also still strong smell of petrol from the engine bay, noticed it after it was garaged for a day. Can't be the tank, sod all fuel in it (less £5) must be a weaping injector

Unliely to be a weeping injector.....that would be into the inlet and you wont smell that.....a weeping seel or buggered fuel line maybe....do they have a carbon canister vent (cant remember!)

40 quid for a pair of second hand springs is stupid, they are only 77.50 new including delivery!

Pics were instant for me

Some eBay blagger said £166 + vat  

Cheers for info Mark, the smell is there after its been garaged but also directly after its been run. Generally seams to come from the passenger side where the fuel lines come in. These all seam dry and nothing weaping, wondering if the join to the metal pipes below is weaping  :-/

Cheers, looks like my web server has fixed itself
