    Default Back from the mechanic

    So I got my Nova back from the mechanic today. I need a few things still, 2 of which are okay, the other not so okay.

    So all I need is a water pump (Isuzu TD, no worries.), CV joint (a bit expensive, but again, no worries) and what's not okay is a steering rack. Now, I don't think I'll be able to find a new unit will I? If so, know any websites? thank you

    Get a corsa b one. Then change the rods over, as the corsa ones are longer. If you fancy a quick rack, get an epas one. I paid a tenner for one on ebay

    You paid ten pounds to get a Corsa B rack? (EPAS means electric power assisted steering right?)

    Yep both Nova's running epas Corsa racks here, IIRC they are 2.7 turns lock to lock??

    I have a genuine isuzu water pump in box still if you need one.

    I bought a steering rack off ebay when I had my SR project, cant remember if it was new or reconditioned but it looked brand new.

    For a 1.5 or a 1.7? I have a 1.7. Don't know if they use the same pump.

    Everywhere I look, I get like, between 100 Euro and 500 Euro for a new steering rack. I'll give a look to eBay, though I'd think shipping will be a bit annoying. I quite like the feel of no power steering.
