I’m now waiting for the garage to fit a new coil spring front passenger side.
Whilst I’m glad it’s been spotted and being sorted I’m annoyed that the 76k vehicle has had a snapped spring when the previous TD4 was at 130k when it snapped on the driveway during Covid when I moved it to let my wife get to the doctors.
Are freelancers prone to snapping their coil springs?

I dont think there is a known spring issue - probably depends upon the sort of work they've had to do. Jules

Well Jules both vehicles have been used extensively for road and motorway use no towing or off road work

Time will tell if the right spring goes too!

I wouldn't recommend just replacing one spring. Good practice is to replace in pairs as the compression of the new spring will be different to the existing old one. This will effect the handling of the car. Now at the point when I learn something new something old is lost out the other side !
Now retired so it doesn't matter anymore.
Freelander now gone.

agree  Jules

Fully agree and on the last TD4 they were done as a pair.
In this case I’ll see if the other side goes and look to Chang it at the next service in December
