Mot Fail

[roccorich 16]

Just got the CTi MOTd

 

nsf steering rack gaiter split

 

osr brake pipe kinked

 

osf tiebar/rod has excessive play in balljoint.

 

 

Can I buy the steering rack gaiter separately and if so is it a case of taking off the track rod end and sliding it on?

 

I got a brake pipe flaring kit for Christmas so looks like I can put that to use. Anyone know what size flare nuts I need?

 

Tiebar rod I assume is a simple case of breaking the ball joint then unbolting the old rod.

 

Cheers for any advice or tips.

You can get the gaiter separate. make up a new brake pipe (unless it's the flexi pipe)

There seems to be two different boots for the steering rack. Anyone know how I make sure I get the right one?

 

And I take it I need M10 x1 nuts for the brake pipe.

 

cheers

Is it PAS you have??

[roccorich 16]

no manual.

[farmer 328 1 Cars]

Should be simple job then.

 

I make it this number for gen boot, bit pricey though.

 

0000406620 STRG RACK BOOT 20.52 GBP 20.52 GBP 24.62 GBP 24.62 GBP 24.62 GBP

That's the one I was leaning towards.

 

There's a Febi kit on ebay for £7.

 

But also one with part number 406622

[farmer 328 1 Cars]

Bit more reasonable at that price.

 

Strangely I bought a PAS boot last week and it was only 9 quid.

Febi kit will be fine.

[roccorich 16]

Cheers just ordered it.

 

Is it easy enough to change?

[farmer 328 1 Cars]

Much easier than a PAS near side one anyway lol.

Can you glue it, Allot of splits can be done this way and will hold for years

[roccorich 16]

Ive already ordered the boot.

 

Looks easy enough to change but can't see the split at all?
