After SWMBO reported occasional noises from the nearside over small bumps, and failing to identify the cause, my indy had a look and found the coil spring had failed (some time ago by the look of the fracture) about half a turn from the bottom, and there was nothing obviously wrong with the car's behaviour. He was incredulous when I said that it was my first-ever spring fracture and the car is 18 years old. He went on to tell me about dealing with coil fractures on a 3-year-old Note, and also to moan about the deteriorating materials being fitted these days.
I can't recall ever having a failed coil in any of my 205s - and the present one is 34 years old, with no history of broken springs - so he may be right ?
