probably right, but the guy said the other was absolutly fine and being near xmas saving every little helps Thumbs Up!

By that he most likely meant it is in a servicable condition, but there is a fair chance it will be softer than the new spring. It's always best to replace major suspension components as pairs.
As you say, Crimbo's not far off, so ask Santa for the other. Thumbs Up!
