[928uk] New Power steering hoses

[Mark Nichols]

Hi Geoff,

I had been using the car, but Saturday night used about 500 mls of fluid in less than 30 miles. After parking realised that if I was lost, just follow the trail! Smelled strongly too, so no more use until after rebuild as I don't want to run the pump dry or see her alight from hot ATF on the exhaust.

Any lessons learned or things you wished you had or hadn't done while performing the various related jobs?

Cheers,
Mark N
90GT

Having seen them 'off car' I am not surprised that it is a tough job getting new ones made up with correct angles etc. For interest, I managed to negotiate what I think the OPC called 'trade buyers club' discount which he said is reserved for volume purchasers. This amounted to 17.5% discount from the price before VAT and they delivered them at no extra charge. Delivered price £271 incl VAT. Roger T's price was even better, but wasn't sure how much HM customs & Excise would have stung me.
