There's always RKB101111 springs fitted to XA on 110's - they are dual rate and no differenciation is made between SW's and "Standard" vehicles from then on. Just to add to the confusion.......;-)

Ian, the easiest way i found to soften spring rates is to have some weight in the back at al times. It really does work i found.

Sure, but also lowers fuel economy and takes up space. Then if you need the space you have to dump the ballast. I reckon I'll just get some softer springs and tackle the capacity issue if I ever need to. Softer springs will give me better axle articulation and less jarring over road bumps, I've never had more than about half a tonne in the back at a guess.
On or around Tue, 21 Feb 2006 23:57:04 +0000, Ian Rawlings enlightened us thusly:
I used to carry about a hundredweight of tools around with me...
I carry about 200 kilos of recovery stuff in the back at all times, spare tyre, hand-winch, ropes, spades, pick-axe, trench-ladders, boltcutters, pruners, saws etc, but it's all packed around the bulkhead to stop it causing problems in a crash, so there's still relatively little weight at the rear compared to the front.
When I do have a load in the back of enough weight to make the suspension level out a little, the ride is a lot softer. Plus of course if the springs are hard at the rear, it'll make the truck lift wheels more than it otherwise would when off-roading.
...and Austin Shackles spake unto the tribes of Usenet, saying...
How many friends is that, then?
My 2006 MY 110 county XS has no anti-roll bars at all.
With the new springs I don't notice any difference at all.
I should have said, "All 110 CSW's should have rear anti-roll bars, they are part of the "County Pack" until Td5's, which have progressive springs instead".

My old 110 CSW didnt have any!!

I expect they were removed either because:
The links failed an MOT (they used to be very expensive).
They were taken off by someone going off-road
or
The factory didn't fit them as the vehicle started out life as a Station Wagon, rather than a County Station Wagon (plastic seats rather than cloth and a radio seems to be about the only difference).
