....no steering racks are available, so I had to wait for a re-con unit.
Anyway, the steering is less Land Rover and more Ferrari now. Of course
the horn compressor had also failed and one front calliper needed
replacing (another re-con unit, cos you can't get those either). Anyway,
at least she brakes in a nice straight line now.

And the winner is....

.... a shade over £800 (that's $1,600 to you 'Merkins). <sigh>

P.S. Good job I get a discount or it would have been over a grand.

twenty years. What a mess they'll be in...

Friggin' exchange rate. I shan't be able to visit you if this keeps
up.

No shite. How about an update?

Ta, but I get a good deal at QV :-)

Yes, drive it ;-)

....especially in the Alps!

....and if it needs some TLC, QV are your first port of call (unless you're a
competent mech, of course!)
