It's not too handy a job Fred,I usually drop one side of the subframe.You could apply north of the border to ask about 'The Highlander Method'  ,I've got a lift so it's not too hard for me.If you want a free spring,there is a used one here boxed up for another site person who never came back to me,there would be the obligatory 'couple of quid' for the site of course I reckon I have your address somewhere from when you had a rear lamp.Let me know.

Hi Fred,
The suspension PDF's are here:
http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/suspensionman.htm
Note it contains instructions for the saloon & the estate in the same PDF, but as Gozz says other ways of doing it have posted.

I must learn to search harder in future. I knew the gen must be somewhere on the site. Thanks a lot.
Will report back when the job is done.
