One of mine has snapped at the bottom so the drivrs side wiper isn't pressing properly, any ideas on sourcing a new spring?

It's part of the wiper arm assembly: I don't know if you'll be able to buy just the spring. Try a dealer, or one of the breakers (Douglas Valley or Bell Hill).

Leven can supply new arms which are the same as standard. Worth going all the way and getting their superb blades which have a proper spray head for the washers

turns a £10 spring replacement into a £40 job, do the Leven blades follow the contours of the window or stick out like my muppet ones?

The Leven blades do folow the contour of the screen.
No muppitry on my car.
I know what you mean though, the old n/s one looked stupid apart from not wiping the screen very well. If you are in the TVROC why not go to a meet and see if someones got some fitted

My wiperblade flew off at about 140!! (private roads) It just left a stub, i went to a scrappy for a distress purchase, and Vauvhall Nova did the job and is still on! (£5). I reckon Landrover arms could do it. The standard TVR ones are a plastic body and wear.
