Progressive springs... which way up?
Although it probably makes no difference i would like to get it right. I guess the tighter coils go to the top but can anyone confirm?

Land Rover springs have a plastic/rubber covering on the top couple of coils, presumably to stop them rattling or squeaking against the upper shock mounting. Defender "Puma" 2.4 110 County Utility (possibly the last of the 2.4's)
