Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

It appears my front end suspension refesh has unearthed a leaking steering rack (one of the boots had alot of fluid). Must be recent, as I last checked fluid level at start of the month.

Keep us posted how this goes Andy. Noticed a little sweating around mine recently so monitoring it.
Did you undo the boot and have a look?
It wasn't very visible until they did.
I'm glad it happened now as they have the suspension apart TBH. They have dropped the sub frame too so will probably refresh the cooling pipes (even though mechanics said they are not too bad). A section was done in 2017 but I might just do the whole lot as the labour costs will be relatively cheap.
This is why I handed the job to an indie as these things ALWAYS seem to escalate. You need a proper lift for this stuff (at my age anyway!)
I like the way this crew give the option to refesh your exisiting rack. Some only send you a random one and take yours in exchange. I know mines had a pretty easy life.

Thats what id want, my own rack back. Haven't had the boots off yet, will do though.
Ive done all my coolant hoses (on the floor at home) lol. Wasn't fun but worthwhile.

It won't be a new one, it will be a remanufactured one from the O.E. supplier even if it's from an OPC.
