I wanted a set of replacement rear springs. They wouldn't split them from the rear shocks and wanted £75 per side + VAT... I mean, come on... brand new springs are only £50 inc.!!!!

Nooooooo! ALL Tourings had rear discs, as did all convertibles...

You could be excused from that pic though, as the drum handbrake section of the rear disc looks a 'bit' like a drum brake...
