Re: Guess how much for a new steering rack??
Oh yes, it's leaking from the end seal on the drivers side where the rubber gaitor is. Looking through the previous owners posts, it looks like it's been suffering for some time.
Well the all in price from MRC (including VAT but not lube) is £2,094 of my finest English pound coins.
I've asked my good friend at TPS to see what sort of magic he can work.
If only it wasn't a Plus I could just by a normal used RS6 rack, refurb it and then fit that.
Does 8 hours of labour sound about right?

Re: Guess how much for a new steering rack??
There are specialists that rebuild racks (no, not plastic surgeons), what would be wrong with using one of those?
No matter where you go, there you are.

Re: Guess how much for a new steering rack??
Nothing at all. Power Racks, Mountsorrel, Leicestershire rebuilt mine for about £500 inclusive of VAT. Labour was roughly the same IIRC. They do only supply to trade though.bam_bam wrote:There are specialists that rebuild racks (no, not plastic surgeons), what would be wrong with using one of those?

Absolutely nothing. The only downside is I would be carless for the duration of the refurb as it's my daily driver.bam_bam wrote:There are specialists that rebuild racks (no, not plastic surgeons), what would be wrong with using one of those?
I may just sort the new one out then refurb the old and flog it.
