why is it when things are seemingly going well that it always goes tits up
everything has been going hunky dory for a good xmas, until the PAS went on the car on sunday, i hoped it was just a fractured pipe, turns out the whole fukin rack is shafted
trying to source a PAS rack on the Isle of Man is fukin impossible
argggghhhh!!!!

the 2nd hand rack itself shouldnt be that dear, u can get a new one from GSF for 129+vat
its the labour in fitting it, plus the fact that the car is gonna be off the road for 2 weeks at least.

it takes a qual mechanic a few hours to fit a steering rack, not 2 weeks!
