These guys recommended to me By Chris at Centre Gravity. The contact was Paul Marvin, the Eng Director. This was in 2017.

They did/do work officially for Jaguar Landrover & as you can see, the price was very good (try pricing up just the seals!) & the rack has been fine since. This included re-bushing the rack where the steering bar exits each side.

Worth enquiring with them...

Seems my 928 GT’s steering rack is leaking fluid. Probably time it had a full rebuild. Recommendations please for an expert to provide a quality rebuild of the 928 steering rack… ?

 

Similarly the oil cooler end tanks reportedly have a leak – need to check this myself and see exactly where. Have any of you had an oil cooler repaired?  – it’s £500 for a new oil cooler from Porsche, but if repaired ones don’t last I’m thinking maybe it would be better just to replace it than have it repaired.
