ah shit man not good

as for the steering just do some basic checks like power steering fluid level. That way you know if its an external leak. Give your steering rack gaitors a quick squeeze (you know the bits of rubber on the end) if you can feel fluid in them its probably gonna mean a new steering rack. Just jack it up and give the steering system (rack, gaitors, lines etc) a once over. Other than that i cant really think of anything that would make it really heavy, however i am quite drunk as i wright this but if anything else springs to mind ill post it up.

Oh yeah and also check your power steering pump but its quite high up of the floor so not sure how you could of done damage by gong over a speed bump.

thanks for the advise mate

although it all seems ok by the looks of it? i think this is a job for my mechanic.... wish i had a ramp and proper tools sometimes, get properly stuck into the car..............

Sorry to read all that mate does this mean you wont be coming to santa pod for tgtt. Thats gonna suck man. Really wanted to see your motor.
Let us no
Good luck m8

yeah unfortunately i have a felling its gona be sitting for a little while, at least till the end of the month unless i can get some cheap quotes.... problem is i dont know what sort of problem this steering is.......

 

[Dan3SGTE]

Alright mate, thats horrible to hear!

Any further progress with it? There are always teething problems with projects like this, stick with it and it'll be good as new in no time

yeah thing is this was self inflicted... the car has pretty much not had hardly anything wrong since ive had it back which is a surprise to both myself and my tuner.........

but yeah there will always be problems with something like this, just part of the fun i guess aie? lol, just trying to make it sound more positive

Progress nothing apart from heat wrapping some pipes which i think have done the job in keeping those intake temps down as i haven't seen it cut the boost since..... i need to stop driving it soo much as its really draining all money, making up for those 17 months apart
