    AVO's gone again

    Seems like my left shock absorber has decided to throw out all its hydraulic fluid out of the top. Third time I've sent them back in about 6 months.

    They rebuilt the right hand one a while back and that's fine. They reckon its a faulty batch of parts during the time of manufacture. Oh well, at least it will be done under warranty...just bloody typical!

    Well they've agreed they should have repaired it when I sent this one to them last time and it's part of a suspect faulty batch I think...not sure though! I've got quite a good raport with them and they've returned fixed items very quickly indeed. Not hard to refit either so I am not that fussed, most annoying bit is physically sending them.
