Corsa steering linkage

I've just fitted a purple tag rack and have issues with steering linkage clearance. I've read about the corsa linkage and was wondering how you go apart separating the e30 uj as per what's on the wiki. I'm having no joy getting it apart and wondered if anyone had any pictures or suggestions. Cheers

Re: Water leak from heater box

Brian is right, it's inly when washed. The car is absolutely clear of any crud as its been off road for years being rebuilt...

It's almost exactly as biffer describes it as the gully does fill up but again it's clear, I'm totally lost at what to do to rectify it though!!

Ecu mounting?

Hi guys, has anyone got a picture of the ecu on its mounting bracket??
I have the bracket but have no way of securing the ecu to it, im guessing there may be a second bracket that clips to the module that then bolts to the main bracket but cant find any pictures to confirm this.

Can anyone help out?
