Clean the headlamps with brasso or tee cut - job done!

long story but stick with it----------. last year my pinion seal was replaced(leaking slightly) fixed it with new seal until this november when i put my winter tyres on. changed from 195 70 15 tyre pressures were 40 psi to 205 65 15 36 psi. leaking again,put this down to strain on rack with the softer compound and lower pressures of the tyres , then the steering became lumpy to turn, and slow to centre after turning,used a product to attempt to fix called wynns powersteering leak fix (also for auto boxes),comes in a coke can sized tin. put it in at the weekend and wow what a difference. i have a smaller steering wheel than standard. now the steering feels very light in weight,it centres far better,and the lumpy feel at very low revs has gone.
dont really know what its done, i pressume its fixed an internal seal in the rack,or just cleaned out the power steering pump or rack.
end result the steering is like new for the price of a pack of fags.
dont know if its fixed the leak as its not stopped raining to check everything.
try it you never know.

well ---a couple of weeks later--------the rack is leaking worse than it ever was .
changed the steering fluid back to straight psf, think cleaning the crud out of it was a bad idea as its now mot time .
new rack coming .
anyone had a go at reconing their old ones,i have the kit,so anyone any tips.

Hi

Not a dig really but might be helpful to others if when changing topic completely that a new post is started, or it confused the hell out of people and you may not get the help needed as quick as possible.

This one has gone from non centering steering to headlamps to window switches to leaking steering racks...
