There's a comment #35 where they've written

"Just managed to get the link in my post above on the 4th of may to download on my mobile - android. Not sure why its not working on yours ..."

Might be worth trying that??

Edit, well what do you know - IT WORKED!

Can't see them on my PC but via Android they open up and I've just downloaded them to my phone!

Give it a go mate - could be what you're looking for!

Excellent guides. One thing to note: when fitting the strut/spring combo to the car the bottom end of the spring should be facing to the rear of the car - easy to get it facing the wrong way.

having trouble finding rear spring & dampener for my 2001 v40, my logbook & insurance policy all state my car as a 1.9DS going off its reg number. Yet whenever i go on ebay or any part website my car is never listed in the model selection for fitment. The closest option is always the 1,9 Di which in theory i presumed was same car, 115bhp 85kw, etc. but it always says part not compatible !?!?!? i am at a loss as to what to purchase & would really appreciate any help, as really like the car & want to get it right.
