    I've just tried to ring but no answer so emailed a place to ask if they have one.

    Update: I've emailed 2 now.

    Have you got any contact details for me. I have found one for a 2003 model but ours is a 56 plate would it fit do you think ?

    I've not read of any difference in the suspensions. More so if you have an 06 turbo as the 03 will be a turbo also.
    But still think 1.3 chassis is the same.

    coil

    That would be great if the 03 plate coil would fit my 56 plate

    could you pick it up or have them post it?
    how much is it so I can compare to any reply I might get. If theirs is higher I'd not need to go anymore down that avenue.

    Yes the one that I am aware of is about 30 miles from my house 45 quid but I am not sure if it is compatible to my year of car. Like you said I am not aware of any difference in 03 to 56 plate

    can you fit it?
    I thought if you took strut you could try spring on at the place if you drove there and compare with broken one.

    One has replied and still has spring but would need removing. Where are you? as yours maybe the closest to you

    Not a huge job but then not a quick/small job. You need a coil compressor to do it. I've never done a front but I have rears on a car, that was quite simple.
