i have just been to shitron and they said they could get me one for first thing tomorrow, then i went to halfords and got some more fluid. got home and put the front wheel back on and had a phone call and guess what it was citroen saying they cant get me one till friday. oh an its the high pressure one but the mechanic said its easy enough to do your self

my dad has put me on his insurance for tommorrow so we are off out for me to get used to it ready for the afternoon.

iam so fucked off you wouldnt belive,my poor baby,just hope i pass now but wont have a car till saturday.

Is it the metal pipe that your steering rack rubs on?
If it is make sure you bend it otherwise it will happen again :y:

Still hits when you go over a bump though ^

If it was me and it had burst i would seriously buy the modified one so i could sit back and not worry!

If your still stuck then you'll have to use your instructors car, if you tell him its an emergency and you need to book it (will pay double etc) he might help you out...

Or you could hire out a car other than that... you might be a bit stuck
