Having recently bought a lowered phase 2 vts my power steering has gone. fluid on the drive. identified the problem being the steering rack that has rubbed through the PAS pipe. I have been quoted £100 for a new pipe fitted, modified track arm fitted and fluid in. Does this seem reasonable? I was considering getting a pipe from the scrappers and fitting it and then bending it out the way. Problem is no scrappers round my way have vts in them. Is Vtr the same pipe?
Thanks in advance.

What springs to mind here is, what is a modified steering arm lol, this problem is as common as muck on lowered saxos. answer is to fit a mk1 pipe and slightly bend it out of the way. 100 pounds sounds like a pants down job, we sell pipes at 25 pounds plus postage for the pair. fitting isn't too hard,just a bit fiddly
