i've still got the c16 pas pump tied to the engine lifting eye with a piece of fence wire.

gettin the c20 pump put on on saturday though.
been without pas for a month. just a pain doing low speed manouvres.

:thumbs: cheers eck

The rack should be ok I've ran the car for nearly 2 yrs and i'm having the PAS fitted back on at the weekend, i'll let you know how I got on and tell you if theres any probs with the rack

Like I've already said. I drove the car for a few weeks without power steering when the XE went in back in January, so know how it will drive.

All I want to know is how its going to effect my steering rack!

Its fukin heavy and i'm not exactly little, on the move it aint that bad but town driving or even worse car park driving its a fukin nightmare

on a brighter note I should have mine back on by this or the latest next weekend :D

i suppose just drive it till the rack breaks..... it may be alright and never break....

and if it does break just replace it then...:)

theres no point in pulling the rack out at the moment cos it would a complete arse to do with your LET in the way.....

its bloody heavy :|

and that was with my x16xe, god knows how heavy with let in...

fair bit of power gained tho ;)

i drove it for a few weeks without power steering when i had the XE put in back in January. I got on ok with it, and to be honest, slightly preferred it. So wanna do it as a more permanent thing.

i think big eck has been driving around like this for a while.....

its supposed to be very heavy..... and i'm sure the rack would feck up at some stage....

What would happen to the steering rack if i simply removed the power steering pump, resevoir etc. but left the standard rack on?
