why does it always happen when you have an appointment somewhere?
It was bit frosty this morning so loaded the car with better half and dog ready to take her to a hair appointment.
Sat with the engine running waiting for the screen to clear and all seemed well.
Indicated to pull out, select first gear, ease off the clutch, roll forward a meter when there was an almighty bang from the rear offside quarter.
Immediately stopped hand brake on neutral selected and went to check the underside in my best bib and tucker.
The driver side coil spring didn't look right, so parked up again off loaded the car and jumped in the Motorhome (only took it out for a spin last week so was good to go with a little messing around) to get the Mrs to her appointment which we made with time to spare.
When we got back I brought the Panda onto the drive parking the MH on the road and had a good look with torch in hand, the coil spring had turned a little with driving onto the driveway and the break is clear to see, glad it happened when it did and not at 60 mph down the road. 2 New KYB coils on order, so fingers crossed the weather holds and I will get them done this weekend as we need the car next week for more appointments.
