At last I've sorted my steering problem (as in it clunked everytime I turned the wheel). The fault was the disc brakes....slightly worn with a large ridge which caused the pads to rise up onto then clunk down onto the disc again. New discs and pads and it's as good as new! AND THE LOCAL GARAGES (WELL 3 ANYWAY) SAID IT WAS THE STEERING RACK WORN!!

told ya it'd be the brakes

Well done that man =D>

Thanks guys, you were a great help and saved me serious amounts of money - just goes to show that talking to people with the same cars (and problems) are often far better than the professionals who only work on these cars maybe 10 times a year and often only then changing the oil and filter!

found out my problem was caused by the cv and boot joint anyone know of anywere to get them cheap?

am sure somone bought one recently - do a search in the servicing section for CV joint - am sure they had the price on there too

It was me!!!!!!!

I got one from my local motorfactors - all the parts were 60 quid...

Obv gave them to the garage to fit though.

If you're still after a CV Joint - Try Www.partsinabox.co.uk.

MAKE SURE YOU TELL THEM IF ITS AN IMPORT and speak to Ian for a 10% discount.

As for fitting - once you;ve got that god dammed nut off its a piece of Pi55 to do it yourself......just make sure you re-tighten everything properly.

My steering is STILL clunking but seems to be improved after a brake strip and re-build.....therefore I am considering changing both the discs and pads as well as the left hand caliper which seems to have seized beyond repair (Dodgy boot on it)
