well, if all goes badly (or well, depending how you look at it) at vauxhall tomorrow, I'll be selling my corsa, instead of paying nearly a grand to have a new steering rack

I could, if I had a ramp, the correct tools, and knew how. 
 
If it was on a B, I'd do it, but it's EPS, so I'm clueless.

Thank fook for that    
 
They quoted me about £800 for the SiR, 20 with 1 years NCB which is pretty reasonable I thought as I was paying the same on the starlet!!
