If you can't turn it with your fingers with relative ease, I'd be questioning whether it's 100% inside.
I've done the same test on 2 racks this week and they were easy to twist by hand on the drive without the lower column fitted.
I haven't forgotten about your lights by the way!
Cheers Dan will give it a go later.
No worries - gonna give them the black masks treatment so no rush.
It was over 3 turns and also had the pleasant job of clearing up all the fluid that leaked all over the place when i was manually turning it! So i got a refund and to bin that part
I've now been offered another rack. And i've been told it's definitely a VTS one. But because there is no ram on it (i'm guess that's the bit the fluid goes into - i watched a youtube video a few weeks back but it didn't stick!) they can't be sure it's only 2 turns as.... I've to call and speak to the tech tomorrow. Comes with 12 month warranty FWIW. And the guy i spoke to said i could return if it's wrong.
But it looks in good nick (see photos). Asking 90quid for it. So not a bargain but not too bad.
So if i was to buy this......could i just swap it out with what i have in the 6? Or do i need the xsara ram that goes with it (which i guess i have on the 1.4 petrol one i have)? Never even seen a steering rack a few weeks back! So not quite clued up on the details! Hence the questions. Ta
