Broken B14 Rear spring help

[Lensey]

I had a rear spring snap on me back in April stupidly I didn't get both replaced, van went in for its MOT on Friday and the other one has snapped!! It appears everyone is out of stock! Does anyone know of anywhere I could get hold of one? Alternatively, is there another make I could get to pass the MOT with? MOT has run out so can't drive the van and I really need it as I'm moving offices at the moment.

The exact same s scenario happened to me! See my last post. Took in for MOT last Friday, both rear springs snapped.
As of last year, Bilstein have stopped making the B14 coils and have been replaced with an exact replacement by Eibachs Komfort coils. THQ sell them

You can get the B14 Komfort springs. These are eibach made instead of the blue H&R spring that came with the original yellow B14. It's a much better, stronger rear spring. Bilstein Komfort Rear Springs - B14 - Replacement | THQ

I've got one well used blue one here (the sister one snapped) your welcome to FOC if it helps you out, problem is its up in Northamptonshire. it is a bit crusty though...so perhaps a plan B?

If @Lensey gets on the Royal Mail app and arranges a RM Special Delivery, then the postie might be able to collect said boxed-up spring from you tomorrow @sparkzer, slap a label on it, and get it to him by Wednesday.. then he's in to a garage and bosh - MOT delight.

 

[sparkzer]

if he wants it, i can box it up, might be pushing it for tomorrow though...early start tomorrow and no one will be at home for the postie

They do safe-place collection, if you have one.. not that I'm saying the Dire Shire is rough..

I live in the arse end of nowhere, so can do that if he wants to sort it out.

I just need to know if I've gotta go outside and route through the recycle bin to find some sort of packaging to stick it in!

over to you @Lensey

 

[sparkzer]

Exhibit A, just to avoid any disappointment

 

[Lensey]

Sorry for the delay in getting back, thanks everyone for the replies and Sparkzer thank you for the generous offer however, I ended up opting for two komfort springs from THQ, thought I may as well replace them both at the same time.
