what did it say on the WOF sheet! I think maybe you need a differant workshop at first thought though

springs! not enough travel or what! i would only see that happening if they were uncaptive/cut either that or your shocks are leaking wich is also a fail

umm time for second opinion and make it one from the nissan dealership. Sounds real dodgy to me. Wonder why the garage wont warrent second hand ones because they are designed as a part not requiring replacement over the lifetime of the vehicle which could be up to 500,000km.

Too much travel! Have they been cut! (thinking too much play, rather than travel).

Won't warrant second hand ones!
They angling for a job maybe!

Haha, cut springs on a 2002 Nissan March! Aren't exactly the type of vehicle to attract the B/R crowd, unless I'm missing something!

That's what I was thinking. Put a 26DETT in it, lower it a bit and that's it. Sleeper as!

I knew someone that had a lowered March (1999, I think). Horrible thing, it was, but still lowered.
I think the one I knew was properly lowered, but that wouldn't preclude someone butchering the springs.

How cab springs have too much travel.Travel is controled by length of shock is it not!

Sounds odd to say the least. Easy solution for second hand springs, clean them and give them some black spray paint.

The 2nd hand bit makes me think they mean shocks and not springs.

You could be right on that mate.

the guy at garage said thesprings havelost tension . need restressed. or something .at moment close to rubber stoppers. not the shocks . shocks ok

If the car sits flat then Id be a bit sus and still get a second opinion. How much travel do they have before they hit the bumpstops!
