Title: Help needed fast.
Post by: Amigo on 12 December 2010, 21:43:27

Firstly admins please don't move this, i did post in the right place originally, no time to mess about now.
   Can anyone supply & fit a new/old power steering pump at my house in Immingham (DN40 1EX) before chrimbo please? Can't get hold of MM & doubt he has any left as i've had 3 of the fricking things!!! You will be able to work in the workshop out of the weather & made very welcome with endless tea, coffee bacon & egg butties, Indian curry (can't match Kate Dundees Thai), spagbol. stew. roast dinner...in other words you'll be well looked after but let me know in advance.
   I need this done as i'm not driving to Sussex to see my folks without power steering & won't take the Cortina that far @ 50mph!!!
   I'm not a rich man so easy on the prices please... LOVE YOU...Guy. :'(

Evening John. I'd happily trust Daz or Pete to do a good job but given the travelling costs that have to be considered on thier part it'd bump the overall price up somewhat!
   Love to Carol & Tony, Guy. :y

If I were in a fit state to do it (with my back) then I'd happily come up and do it for the cost of the fuel Guy but I had to pay someone else to fit a back box this week knowing that I was unable to bend/lie on my back and do it and I needed it done for trips over the festive period :(  :'(

A bit to far sadly for me.

Have you thought about an additive (e.g. STP) as a stop gap?

I assume its just low assistance at idle?

It comes & goes Mark. The once clean fluid looks like gravy.
   Would it help if i can limp the car to you? It's ok on the move. An additive may help but not on a 500 mile round trip plus buzzing around while there. You're nearer to me than Pete or Daz so are my only chance so far. Have you got a spare pump? Guy.

Understood Paul, get yourself better. Nothing's worth crippling yourself for.
    Festives to you & Emma, Guy.xx (for Emma)!!!!! ::)
