GAZ Coilover Problem..
Hi all, i have recently fitted my gaz coilovers onto my fiesta mk2 xr2. I am having a problem adjusting the drivers side front coilover dampening setting. I use the supplied key on the top of the passenger side strut and can feel it clicking into place, the driver side however doesn't tighten or loosen and has a spongey feel when i try and rotate it.
Does anyone have an idea why this is and what could be done allow adjustment?
many thanks

Problem is now resolved. I e-mailed GAZ about my problem, here's what they said:
"Use the spanner on the small 8mm hex adj on the top of the strut, it will be turned off when it left the factory so you will need to turn it clockwise to turn it up.There are 2 'o' rings inside & sometimes they stick to the inner wall so a small turn with a spanner is just enough to release them, if it still won't move or it dose break then we can repair it no problem but it's allways best to try this first before you have to send it back to us."
I used a spanner together with the adjuster key and carefully tightened the adjuster at the top of the shock to cause it to snap into place, allowing for normal 'click' adjustment.
