Looked at my new nice very meaty clutch which arrived today compared to the old one much better, then pondered radiator removal.

Left a trail of power steering fluid behind me for nearly 200 miles... need to have a wee look and see where it’s escaping from. Topped up and lasting a little bit, so still mobile, but think it’s getting worse. What’s the usual cause? Pipe from pump to rack?

High pressure pipe near the rack, there's a plastic clip that holds the pipe to the chassis by a screw which makes the pipe rot through.
After that it'll be obvious I think :-)

Almost bought some Custom alloys for mine this morning but the mrs caught me looking and pointed out replacing the slightly duff injector might be a better idea.

As tempted as I am to buy some alloys for it I think on this occasion she may actually be right :x money would be better spent on mechanicals and some bodywork plus I also need to replace my broken drivers seat

Popped into a local body shop when I was out this afternoon to get a rough quote on repairing this...
