8O 8O I thought it was going to be expensive, but not that expensive! lol

Ok so what can I do now if the my mechanic does diagnose it as the steering rack at fault?

Where can I get a new steering rack from? Excluding places like Euro Car parts, as my past purchases with them havent been worthwhile with them


Thanks again Brett

You could get a good second hand one off here for about £30, I would say there's a 90% chance it will be ok for many more thousands of miles and a 10% chance it won't. Considering it's only £30, say an hours labour to fit at a garage, then probably about £100 all in, i'd be taking the chance over a £1242 new one
