muddymart:
I had Monroe gas shocks fitted and heavy duty springs fitted to the disco earlier on this year, now the car has been sat for a month maybe 6 weeks at the most, and it doesn't seem to be sitting right, it seems to be sitting with the back end considerably lower, our street is on a upward slope so I'm thinking this is why, would this be permanent or should i be taking back to the garage as it is under guarantee

Range Rover Blues:
Well you could try turning it round I guess, new springs always settle in a bit but usually when they are used not stood :-k

Yes turn it round, in fact take it for a drive, if that doesn't cure it then take it back and ask politely that they have a look.

muddymart:
Ive just taken it for a good ride, going round lots of roundabouts !!!

on close inspection of the springs, the o/s/r spring , the top two rings are completely compressed, where the others have a good couple mm gap??

Range Rover Blues:
The backs might be progressive in that the first few coils at one end are closer together so at normal ride heigh they are closed up but when extended they come to life, it helps with articulation.

It's possible they put one in the wrong way up.

If however it's only one spring thats like this then it needs looking at.  Make sure that both rear springs are the same way round though, it could look like that because of the orientation, but it could also be that one coil has snapped :-.

Sharpshooter:
Have the springs been fitted to the correct corners?? Rears are usually heavier duty, and the drivers side are slightly longer. My mate fitted them back to front on his Disco, and it sat like this.
