front suspension coil went through tyre! 

help
just went out to my signum 1.9 cdti (05) .  its been sat on the drive for 2 days.  All i done was unlocked car then as i sat in there was an almighty crack followed by hissing air....turned out the front offside suspension coil broke then pierced the tyre!!! 
the thing is can it be replaced easily diy style at what sort of price.... or is it a job for the garage at what sort of price? 
Any advise appreciated as it has only just happened and i don't know where to start

That is a common thing to happen on vectra's .  You can have your car parked outside your house and the springs will break while you are a sleep.  My local dealer changes 2 sets every week.  it all down to speed bumps.  Its happening to all makes of cars.
