It's All Going Pete Tong

[BO55HOD]

Disastrous fortnight for the 'Ro, clutch started slipping last week, then yesterday after a short run out, all my power steering fluid started gushing out onto the drive when i got back! Hoped to use this years budget on improvements so this is a real kick in the balls. Looks like phoning the Fish and meeting up with my old friend Big Bill!!!!

Sorry to hear about the agro but if you need a new power steering cooler you can get an uprated one from Mishimoto cheaper than a standard replacement. Doesn't fix the problem but it might stop it ever happening again

Hope you get things sorted and all the parts are in stock.

I really struggled to get a High Pressure PAS hose a few months ago...


Whilst you're in there getting the clutch sorted, I would recommend Fitting an LS7 Clutch, a remote bleed hose and change the spigot bearing too (£50 part & Big Bill if it goes) and if you don't got it get a Rip-Shifter fitted too well worth it imho

def having the clutch upgrade, bleed kit & spigot bearing fitted, not sure whats up with the power steering. booked into monkfish next week so will find out then. cheers guys

My power steering cooler went with a bang a few years ago, no leaking beforehand, just went pop. It's probably just rusted through.

Had same issue with CV8 - Monkfish fixed for me.

just another quick question, is it wise to pay the extra for the lighter aluminium flywheel kit when upgrading to the LS7 clutch?

I Didn't - was advised against it for some reason icqr bang per buck and stalling or something??? get a rip shifter instead if you have the cash Makes A BIG Difference

I'm told that speed4u will likely have the bits you need for these issues. PAS coolers are always an issue on these cars.

[BO55HOD]

Many thanks to monkfish for sorting out all the issues on my monaro. got it back saturday fully serviced, new clutch new disc & pads, new power steering cooler, road response pack and a few more bits and bobs. then low and behold on the M40 on the way back i got a stone chip on the windscreen which has now turned into a massive crack halfway up the screen!! im bloody cursed! Anyone know if this is an easy fix? will a company like autoglass sort a car like this?

[ringram]

Yep most of the glass boys can sort it quickly.
I think WPUK might keep spares as do VX you might have to help a bit by ringing around. But the windscreen insurance will cover it with the usual no fault excess etc.
