Hi

I have a 10 plate RS133 (tinted windows, split rear seat, music pack and cup chassis, 17 in wheels etc). Currently I have a failed MOT due to the classic cracked coil spring. Wow you say...well my local garage is having issue finding the correct coil spring based on the colour coding. Renault UK have been involved and suggest that the only two colours codes they provide for this particular model are Orange/Violet or Orange/Yellow/Violet

So I take a look a my ones and I see Yellow/Violet

They say, well the orange has worn off (on both sides...really?), or the yellow is actually orange (then really bad choice of colour scheme). So my questions are:

a) What is the difference between the Orange/Violet and the Orange/Violet/Yellow

b) Did any RS133 have Yellow/Violet only?

c) What should mine have (even though I bought new and the springs have never been changed)

I kinda need to know asap as I currently am off the road.
