The shot AVO's were replaced with new Wolf shockers, these are about half the weight Aluminium cases. Transformed the ride, no bottoming out any more, smoothed the road out. Ride home was nightmare on the M11 static and very slow from J9 right through to J8 1 1/2 hours HGV with split tank lane 1 covered in diesel and only HATO's on scene with not a clue how to deal.
What is a coil cover?
Surprised how your 2013 car seems to eat shockers. Don’t think AVOs were OEM, so it must now be on its third set… High mileage, live up a farm track, or maybe the wrong spec. AVOs were fitted last time?

Doug a coil cover goes on top of the engine and covers the spark plugs perhaps better described as engine cover originally designed for Caterhams with Duratec engines. You are correct AVO'S are not OEM, fitted about 20k ago yes it's now on its third set at 47k.I live in Essex so roads not good and it does get driven. King pins only lasted 5 years, hard chrome now fitted.
