Not yet mate but i want one

New from e-bay mate, they dont look as if they have EVER been fitted, the guy`s got 99.8% feed back seemed genuine



Anybody else no if its fucked or can i do something to adjust it without getting a new one or this one sent away to get sorted


also anbody have a rough idea on how much it would be to get sorted, whatever the fucks wrong with it

Johnny one fo my AVO's on my 4x4 saff had to go back. It wouldnt adjust at all once they were fitted.

To be fair to avo they sent out a replacement super quick...

A just contacted AVO and they said its probably the adjuster its self thats been turned past its 22 clicks, looking at £15 to reapair so not a serious worry




as i think about it, i think i did turn it a bit much to see where it stopped

They do suffer from this, I popped into AVO in Northampton and they offered to sort them out asap.

2 day turnaround wasn't bad at all.
