got stuck into it today after it got a whole lot worse and i practicaly could not turn left, took the UJ off to find its smooth as could be, popped it back on, got the front wheels off the floor n wound it lock to lock, to find the rack is scrap, and its only done 2,000 miles since it was recon'd!!
had enough of this car now, baught it for 400 quid n it owes me around 2 grand now and im still having trouble ... hopefully il get there though.
Todays tip... If your going to buy your dream car to 'restore' prepare to be dissapointed...
yeah Kev i've heard about the quicker rack, i would of bunged one of them in if i had the option but its a shedload more cash and i got a new one on warranty so it could be worse, il live with slow steering for now, but like you say.. i will not be beaten!! Thumbsup
I've never heard of racks failing either mate, but ive had 2 die on me
dont mention head gaskets please lol because i know what'l go next...
should hopefully be dropping a new lump in it soon anyway and all my troubles will be gone... yeah right! i can see it going that well cant you lol
it will get there though!!... eventually
