Power steering resevoir advice please
« on: 14 June 2010, 20:16 »
Hi there

can anyone tell me if I would be able to buy a new power steering resevoir from the dealer, or is it no longer available and I would need to locate a second hand one???

Any ideas on price both new and second hand???

Thank you

£40 plus VAT if squared rounds are cheaper but if you have a 16V you need square!
After market Egay ones are a reasonable £16 I think just look if you have no luck come back to me!
I have a new round one with no lid though LOL!

Need a square one  as it's 16v, price is sound minus discount at TPS, should be about 25 quid :grin:

I only get about 10% or VAT off  :rolleyes: Sometimes less if its not a common part LOL!
Buy the egay one its like £16 all in no red lid but looks like a good patern part I was tempted until a mate sorted me out with one?

the Rado PAS bottle (which i needed for G60 conversion) is only £15ish from the dealer, but you have to get a bit of extra pipework
