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

Claire been tellin you stories about me again Adam 
The steering is heavy as fuk when driven slow (which isnt very often ) 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

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
