I read a recent article about someone who replaced the spring and flounder there van loads quicker

Anyone know where I could buy the right spring please

In think the van is in new of a new battery as I you leave it a couple of days it turns over bit doesn't start. I'm not sure what battery the my 2.0 air cooled should have can someone advise please
