I have my eyes on a purple tag rack, do you think it will make a lot of difference to mine which is pretty quick anyway ??

I felt the steering was slightly heavy and once home the fluid had gone.
I cant get underside and my garage guy is away until Monday so I am looking on the dark side at the moment Dan.
I see that second hand racks are very cheap so that bares out what you said. :D

I did buy a second hand purple tag rack for £86 delivered telling my wife it`s there in case we need it and, it would go nicely on the e30 which "is showing signs of wear" :o: :o:
Poetic license indeed :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
