How much ballpark for changing front spring (broken, mot failure). Change both compulsory (rather than pretty good idea)?
Cheers

Change whats broken. No need to bother with pairs unless the other is tired.
£15 for a spring and 30 minutes labour if you whip the strut off yourself.- Vote on answer

two would be better than one for lots of reasons. an average garage would charge about 60 - 90 quid labour plus the springs at about 30 quid each (at a guess)
It is only a simple job to diy if you have the tools and knowledge, potentially it is lethal if you get it wrong.

Indeed. My preferred way is to remove the strut myself then pop along to a local friendly garage and get them to change over the springs. Usually they'll charge me a tenner a leg or so.
