Why not go the whole hog and buy an 8v.

Nah, you could just remove 8 of them, it would be cheaper.

Been driving without it for years and all i can say is that it has built my shoulders up nicely but they ache a lot so pas is on the cards with mine. I picked up another golf recently with pas and it was a joy to drive one handed.

Then strip it off Hamerite the b!tch stick it back on job done.
Usually if the fluid is very still in the resivor then something is wrong when you full lock it you can see currents or choppy waves of fluid moving about. It might need some new fluid and thats job done?

Is it broken?

Doesn't sound it.

SO LEAVE IT ALONE!

At least, replace the belts and make sure they're tensioned up right.

At most buy another pump and put it on a shelf in the shed/garage.

Do that and £10 says the current pump will never break.  :grin:
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

if the turns lock to lock were the same this might be the case, but they aren't and shorter racks are always more fun
