W124 Broken Front Coil Spring

whilst doing some usual poking around and checking under the car I noticed my right (driver's side) front spring has a break in the last winding. I checked the other side and it's fine, but the right one is definately snapped. There's still a decent amount (at least half) the bottom winding attached to the control arm- should it be ok to run the car like this for a short time until I get in in for service as long as I don't go off-roading? I don't feel any difference in the feel/handling and I see it's mentioned in the service notes for the 124.
