OK so I admit I tried and failed to replace my rear springs myself. I read all the posts had the tools but gave up as I just couldn't get the spring compressors in situ and be able to tighten them to remove the spring. I tried the jack up the body option but as I've a slight slope on my drive I reckoned it was simply too risky to have the rear in the air.
So I took the coils to the local independent Tyre and Exhaust place and after much sucking of teeth he reckoned it was a minimum 4hrs labour and could take a couple of days.
So I walked away and went to my usual guy who funnily has too much work on and can't do it for a couple of weeks.
Better to wait and get it done properly than go to the goons at minimum 4hrs labour. So no new springs for Sunday's play day in Argyll.
