I really am surprised that Members of the forum are so helpful . Thank you to those who have helped me so far. I have found a spring in an ebay salvage site who don't want to separate spring from strut. £70 delivered for the full assembly. What do you all think?

Look on ebay Italy..

The companies are uk based and springs are @£30 each

But before you committ to a used one.. do call shop4parts

No joy with the various possible suppliers. But Mick holdsworth was brilliant in trying to find a compatible match. I've decided to take a complete strut assembly from a breaker. Fiat themselves say the spring is on back order with an early June delivery estimate. Desperate stuff eh?

Sorry, Yes, my bad.

Though I would of thought with such a new Tipo, that the plastic part number tag would still be attached to one of the coils in the OP’s car.

It's a qr code not a part number now and ha dno luck in scanning it

I have lowered my tipo estate. Ride is firmer and handling is better. Autodoc is a great website to use but can take up to 2 weeks for items to arrive

I tried Fiatdalys earlier today..Easter Sunday..
All links appear dead..

However Easter is a big thing in Orthodox countries.. so could just be an I.T. issue

Hmm? As I've mentioned before, we've been looking at the Tipo as a likely replacement when his poor old "trusty" Astra estate bites the dust. Your story here is causing me to have some doubts. Lets hope things improve as brexit stabilizes, brexit will stabilize won't it?

Have you managed to get the parts swapped yet?

That's where I had to get some rear shocks from nobody's could supply any at all not even main dealer said no stock in Europe for fiat ones and most parts places in the UK don't have a lot of the Tipo other then basics service and braking parts

Its a good place to shop and even better if you have the manufacturer part numbers to cross reference over.
