Hi
I was wondering if anyone has a used coilover I could buy. One of mine has a seal leak and has lost some oil. The ones I've got fitted are AVO and appear original. No way can I afford a full new set at over £500!! The car is a 2.8i V6 1988
Thanks

In the ideal world, new ones would be great. Due to the condition of the coilovers I
Wrongly assumed they were original. Again if anyone is changing theirs and has a serviceable pair available I would be grateful.

Ah all good info.
I assumed from comments in line that AVO would conceder my units to old and tatty!

Hi All
The adjusters all turn ok. It's just the little grub screws I'm the adjusters that are stuck

The hight adjusters are fine! It's the damper adjustment knobs that have stuck grub screws. Two are free and I've ordered some Cobalt drills to drill the others. I can put it thread inserts quite easily if the threads get damaged.
