To over come the big bang effect of the FIAT Ducato (and Mercedes Sprinter I'm told) I've had the front springs replaced with new "King Springs.
The work was done by Manta of Richmond SA.
I also got my FIAT serviced, The boss (Steve) gives the impression that he knows what he's talking about and is certainly a very approachable person.
The job was done in the time specified and I was happy with the cost. Last years annual service by another company plus the reported cost of replacing the springs was $300 cheaper.
I is happy.

No, the front was very low, warning given were headlights needed adjusting (raised front 60mm) and see how shocks behave?
At least the shower will drain now

Now I'm confused. Last years service cost $660, cost of new springs bandied about $800, expected $1500 this time with service and springs, came in at $1200, I'm happy at cost and attitude of service people.
That better

Even though you are happy it does raise the question whether the vehicle was 'fit for the purpose' or not?
It's unfortunately the sign of the times with a lot of things. Buy it new & then change it so it works!!
Maybe not the fault of the vehicle but more like the company building the shed on the back of it.
So you ready for a trip Russell?

Glad (and not at all surprised) that you are pleased with the outcome Russell! Although we have done a lot of mods and additions to ours, the new springs is near the top of the list for desirability and results. As another poster has said the vehicle in my opinion is not fit for purpose.

Their all built to a price by grade 6 work experience kids from the local detention centre.
"Not fit for purpose", only the lawyers would benefit from those discussions.
