Yeah whatever it is should be a warranty job. Something definitely not right there. I'd probably leave the spacers if the garage is friendly (Hitchin for example) and remove them if not.

Bedford would claim they couldn't fix a headlight bulb because you were running spacers I'd wager... :/

Very much doubt ride height would be affected to that extent by DRC issue? Unless it's been run for a long time in a knackered state causing excessive wear to the spring.

The fuel tank is on that side though, so perhaps more likely to contribute towards the gap difference. If I had my car :thumbsdown: I'd have done a quick measure up for you.

first thought was a broken spring to be fair. Can you jack it up and take a look to see if everything looks normal?

Yes, good shout.

Also worth checking the high side to make sure the spring hasn't become misaligned on the rubber perch pad.
