HEAVY STEERING

[marco2002]

thanks for that mate. What a day so far. Mrs came back from the shops and the front bumper has a lovely scrape and dent in it now. Off to Ebay in a mo to find out how much a new bumper is lol

Is it easy to sign up for servicebox or do you have to be trade only?
Thanks

Just fill the form in saying you're a 'motor trade professional' - worked for me.

I dont remember having to tell lies to get a user name and so on, but Im old and my memory is failing me so who knows

either way its a useful thing to have for sure

Just an update. Car went into garage today and its the PAS pump thats causing the heavy steering. The pump thats on the car was brand new at 110k its now on 178k so its only lasted 68k! Has anyone else had this problem. Nothing seems to be made to last i'd have thought something ike this would have lasted a bit longer??

The good news is i've located one on ebay which is a reasonable price and tested otherwise it would be a new one at approx £110 ouch!
Is it hard to get the aux belt off and fit one of these pumps. Garage said they can do it pretty quick. Can't afford for car to go off the road.

Thanks

I tried registering at servicebox but it wants a VAT code....anyone gotten round this?

Yep, they can't cope with Croatian R1 codes

I think you just need any VAT number...
