engine specialists Surrey or West Sussex
I have a leaking core plug on 3.8s - can anyone recommend a good reliable independent mechanic who could replace them, preferable in West Sussex or Surrey?
Hoping it can be done without engine out
Cheers

Vicarage rack pinion conversion
Hi I'm having to convert to a vicarage rack and pinion system - who out there has already done this?
I would welcome any feedback on both how easy it was and what the result was, I'm told it makes it drive more like modern car
Cheers

Re: 3.8s steering box problem
Hi again
Thanks for replies giving S steering specialists but called them all - same story Burman power boxes big trouble and won't touch them!
I can't believe there's no one left out there who will touch em! There was a guy but he retired !!
These boxes should carry a health warning

Re: 3.8s steering box problem
Hello Geoff, I suspect that the box is not at the straight ahead position when the wheels are, if the box is not centred, then the assistance valve is opened. Just try turning to the right until there is a 'dead' spot, i.e. no pull? Alec Hi Alec Thanks but my mechanic tried that it seems that the p...
