I got the bracket from cossvaux mate, at the end of the day I would not compromise on price if u know thje job is going to be done correctly, a few weeks ago my fan belt and power steering belts snapped what a nightmare it was driving at slow speeds you must have arms like garth if you have been driving it for that long if it aint fitted

Claire been tellin you stories about me again Adam ;)

The steering is heavy as fuk when driven slow (which isnt very often:P) but because the p/s rack is still on its very heavy, for the people with p/s switch your engine off and try to turn the wheel and you'll see what I mean about it bein heavy.

Starkie I still have all the hoses (I think) but I need the resivouir(sp), are you up for fitting it for me??? At the right price of course :thumbs:

Right i've asked this question before and I still have no clue how to do it, as some of you know I have a valver in the corsa however the power steering was never refitted, I still have the power steering rack on which makes turning the car at slow speeds a fuking nightmare, I still have the Pump and as far as I know any resivoir(sp) will fit, correct me if i'm wrong here please, what I need to know is there any other way to fit it without spending £100 on an extended bracket so that it clears the manifold??
Any detailed info on this would be very helpful as I need the steering fitted right away.

Thanks people

PS, Beardy I know you've tried to explain to me something about tie bars but I honestly hav'nt a feckin clue what your on about :(
