As above please if you have one.or if you know... Is there more than one type of steering rack on the vts ? Ive been sent one with push fittings, a bit like the aircon pipes, and this wont be a direct swop for my 306 one. Could i swop the housing over from my old rack with the normal screw in ones ?

@Dangti6 - Not having much luck at all Cheers for the pic tvr fan, mines the same as yours with the push fittings, except i dont have any of them to use  Do you think i could swop the the housing over, or is it now worth the risk ? i might disturb the seals. ________________________________________ Dimma + Gt35 turbo =Solid rear beam mounts £130 07889376885 Dan |

can you not just use all the xsara pipework?you can't swap the "housing" as that's part of the reason it has less turns lock to lock, unless you strip it right down and swap the pinion, IF it fits... ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

I was hoping the xsara rack was going to have the normal fittings, like on the 306, then it would have been a simple case of screwing my pipes in.I could use the xsara pipework i supose, but now ive got to source and pay extra for them and i will have to modify the high pressure one to suit my relocated pump.Any one got any push fitment pipes going spare ?  ________________________________________ Dimma + Gt35 turbo =Solid rear beam mounts £130 07889376885 Dan |

Cheers Owain.  If you look at tvrfans pic, you can see the low and high pressure pipes going into the rack, he has push fittings with a single bolt in the middle and a bracket to clap them in. Thats how it is on mine, except i dont have any of them pipes. ________________________________________ Dimma + Gt35 turbo =Solid rear beam mounts £130 07889376885 Dan |

Sounds all kinds of wrong to me. Sure it's the P1 quickrack? Not just a later VTS rack?________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

So the the later one has push fittings and thus being from a ph2 would have the 2.6 lock as apposed to the 2.4 ?________________________________________ Dimma + Gt35 turbo =Solid rear beam mounts £130 07889376885 Dan |

Ive just rang the company i got the rack from and told him it was from a ph2, his responce being "you never asked for a ph1 rack" ok mate, have a look on the parts request, "oh yea, sorry, send it back and you can have a refund" He then goes on to tell me that the gti6 rack is the same as the xsara vts one and is the same lock? ________________________________________ Dimma + Gt35 turbo =Solid rear beam mounts £130 07889376885 Dan |

Hmm, I'm worried about the rack I've got stashed in the garage now, as I don't think there are any pipes with it.I was just going to make some up as I wasn't aware of them being push-fit, might not be able to now ________________________________________ Team 'unintentional rat look' |

My phase 1 vts rack has exactly the same ram pipework fittings as my phase 3 gti6. Just a case of swapping the ram over and mine will go back on.

Well the wrong one is been collected 2moz and will get a refund in that.I've found another one, and the guys assure me it's off a ph1 and has the normal screw in fitments, I will buy it 2moz and see if it is the right one when it turns up. ________________________________________ Dimma + Gt35 turbo =Solid rear beam mounts £130 07889376885 Dan |

Sorry I should've said mine was a P2 rack. Didn't feel like paying more than double for 0.1 lock per direction.________________________________________ I'm Si btwNight Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper - (The other half's wheels) |

I've got what I'm told is a P2 rack, and so the there are 3 holes at the base of the bit that connects to the steering column, the outer two are the (non-threaded) ones where the pipes go into the rack, and the centre one is the threaded part that holds the plate holding the two pipes in if that makes sense. Am I correct that the GTI-6 rack has the two outer holes threaded, not smooth-bore. I have one piece of pipe with my rack that has a non-threaded end with an O-ring on it. I'm guessing I need another one of these and the thing that screws into the threaded hole between the non-threaded pipe holes. I talked to someone who said it is possible to get the holes threaded for the normal GTI-6 pipes by an engineering company. Anyone done this and can anyone advise on the thread needed? Or would it be simpler to order the Xsara pipes from Citroen (assuming they fit at the other end!)? Anyone got any experience in doing this and can advise? Excuse any numpty questions but I need to get the car back together in the next 6 weeks as we are moving house yet again. ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |
