As above really - I suspect one of my rears to be leaking....

I read somewhere that its about £40 per unit?

Do I go straight to Avo - or do they have distributers etc?

At a guess straight to AVO? For the best service, i would want them to go back to who made them TBH. Maybe drop them an email enquiring?

I remember reading somwhere on here, may have been adam, he got his done for about £35 and that was straight to avo iirc. Search his WIP, was when he had the white one.

I had my front shocks (non-coilover) rebuilt my Avo when I snapped the damping adjusters off. Drop them an email and they reply fairly quickly.

I posted them direct to Avo and they were back with me in about 10 days. Cost for this was £15+VAT per shock and £9+VAT postage (althought they did it all for free no questions asked as they must have looked within warranty!) Probably different prices for coilovers though.

AVO are cheaper than LEDA in that case. I just had a pair of rear coilovers from my Escort Cosworth completely rebuilt, and it was £75 each (plus any parts needed).

I thought that Avo owned Leda now? I have Ledas and was planning on sending them next!

Or is it Gaz that own them?

Neither own Leda. Leda were bought by a company based in Derby.

A number of Leda staff left and went to Gaz.
