Do we have any mechanics in the south east of england or london who would like to sort out my power steering?
Im not bothered about the person being a professional with a guarentee, just someone who knows what they are talking about.

My car is driveable, id just like someone to look at it, tell me whats wrong and telll me how much it will cost to fix.

Thank you.

What is the problem?

What are the symptoms?

Maybe we can help if you describe the problem, might be an easy fix.

where it leeking from?

If its from the steering rack bellows then u need a new rack. (easy job)

If its from the pipes connecting to rack new seals. (easy job)

I've got a steering rack with no leaks Ԛ£20 (but u need a new tie rod end and tracking done for best results)
