Picked the car up from George Lambru 'Auto Bavaria',had new brake lines
and Power Steering fitted.What a difference,i used to have non-powered steering and now the car feels alive,ready for the
slightest input.Thanks goes to BossHogg(Paul) for a good deal on the steering rack,there were a few bolts missing,and the captive nut
for the reservoir mount was
a big miss,but George must of had a spare.And of course special thanks to George at 'Auto Bavaria'(Newcastle)who as usual did a brilliant job and got me a years MOT!

Hi guy I'm at uni in Newcastle, where is Auto Bavaria cos I need an E30 understanding mechanic, cheers.

I have played with disconnecting the PAS on mine makes it more settled on the MWay, and as an added bonus added about 1/2 an inch to my biceps because of parking in town.
