Remy do a load of alternators and stuff, loads of stuff as you can imagine.

Thats a Non-pas rack, whereas the first link was a PAS rack?

Can I ask why you want a complete new rack? Generally its only the tie rods that get worn, and they are replaceable, cheaply.

Go too your local motorfactors and have a look through their catalogue, my local one does refurbed originals vauxhall racks. I don't really like 80percent of pattern parts.

I just typed my reg in on Eurocarparts and that's what came up.

Il call into my local NPA motorfactors first thing Tuesday morning and ask what they have,i don't mind having a refurbished rack,i think thats what most places do now instead of selling new ones.

Alex looks like mine has been leaking somewhere so may aswell change the lot while the engine is out.

Only thing that is different is on my rack the fixing mount brackets are attached to the rack but on this one there arn't any.

That is, and that is the right rack, the mounting bracket, and bushes, will transfer, Pull off the metal bracket, and then remove the rubber bushes, might be a little stiff as its over ten years old now.

i chinned off my PAS in my old corsa build and put a std rack in. Much better steering feel/response....and you wont have issues parking etc. I had a 2.0 and had no probs
