This is the proper Jaguar compressor:
It's a substantial piece of kit for the very good reason that the springs are under tremendous pressure.
The curve on the spring when it's in place makes standard compressors useless to the point of being dangerous.
I've been fortunate in being able to borrow a Jaguar compressor when I've needed to replace front springs. Without one, it's a job I'd certainly leave to professionals.

For you folks down under you might try SNG Barratt. We recently discovered they have some service tools in their on line parts search. One of the tools we purchased was this spring compressor as they are in high demand. They may possibly have more and yes these are factory tools. You may need to search by the Jaguar number or the later global number. Also not sure of the rules for Bosch in that part of the world but they (Bosch) have taken over tool distribution so search for Jaguar Factory tools Bosch or Bosch Service Solutions. Of course as said if in North America no need to purchase as members may loan tools at any time. Best of luck!
Info---earlier cars where the top of the tower is open use tool JD 6H or Global 204-008 Later cars with the 90 deg rotation pin and no top access use JD115 or 204-111 (tool in question in this thread.

I did loan my spring compressor to a fellow member on this site! He was unhappy with it though and returned it. I note you are in the States. I am in England! That is an issue! Alec G.
