this is me guessing but anyway is the spring changeable?? if so get a longer spring. just take the load spring off which is by the rear arms and see what you can do!!!

i think slacken the bolt off with wheels on the ground and tighten it up when the spring is just under tension if that makes sense

i dont think its that easy is it?? im new to corsa's though so i havent got a clue!! but if you cant sort it bodge it! its dangerous for it to be like that so disconnect the spring from the rear arm if you cant do anything, this may make it fail the MOT???

Charlton is right, it really is that simple. the spring should just have a little tension when the car is on its wheels with no extra weight in the boot

do not just disconnect it though as i will fail the MOT and will possibly be dangerous.
