It's time consuming and fiddly.
A couple of things to consider
#1 Tracking will need checking afterwards
#2 Power steering system will need flushing for guarantee to be valid
#3 Steering angle sensor may need recalibrating if fitted
Power steering ..... could be a leak?

Re: Power steering ..... could be a leak?
Thanks for that
Forgot about item 3, but not sure if it's fitted to mine
Tracking - yes goes without saying
Flushing - think it's been done with the amount that I've put in to date but would drain off anyway.
Got plenty of time to do it in as 2nd car and tried "I need my car fixing" site and got one response from a tyre place some 15-20 miles away who wanted to see the car first before committing and costing to do it.
Need to go round a few very local garages before I commit myself to doing it.
Does the front subframe have to be removed ??

Re: Power steering ..... could be a leak?
Went there and printed it off already
Got it booked in at a very local garage to me on the 28th as decided that I really thought that it will be easier for them to do it than for me to try and do it in the street for the labour cost involved (£100/120) plus the part that I'm supplying and tracking @ about £15
Chickened out really - I'm not as young as I used to be
Thanks for you guidance and I look forward driving the old girl again

Re: Power steering ..... could be a leak?
No, not bad at all. Like you I'm getting too old to want to be working under the car these days. Still do a bit but that sounds to me like £150 well spent.
