The springs are a common thing apparently!! WTF a major suspention component just snapping in half is a common problem!?!?! bloody frogs.
Indeed they are. It was very well explained to me by the chap at my local "Specialized Renault Services" Garage. He reckons the problem is constant abuse they get from speed bumps.
Yes my megane also failed on Front Left spring and its Rear Right break compensator which had properly seized up (I didnt know what one was before then lol) back in September. By broken btw, I mean the very end of it had chipped off.
Other than that is was all good.
