Thanks Matthew,
That's sounds like it would work. I'll try it tonight.
Cheers.

Remember to catch the pin! They are made of instantdisappearium.
Finally had some time to start pulling the beast apart to get to the steering rack.
The engine bay is a great place to work once you take off the front guards.
There are some areas with light surface rust and I will respray many of the parts. I put the wheels on full lock and noticed the rubber boot reveals much of the part underneath, is this normal?
Eventually got to the steering rack and thought to myself, "That's not meant to look like that." Hmm.. will hopefully pull it out tomorrow and figure out what to do next.
I also didn't realize this model has the engine driven radiator fan and another smaller electric fan in front of it inside the cowling of the radiator, is this standard? It certainly looks ex factory.
Anyway, had a whale of a time getting this far but now it's time for a cold one.:adrink:
Richo,
Sorry if I gave the impression I was going to pull out the steering rack without first checking where the leak is coming from. My post ("Hmm.. will hopefully pull it out tomorrow and figure out what to do next."). I spent yesterday cleaning all the hydraulic gubbins and will follow your advice to hunt down the leak(s). Will get some LHM from Dave at the Club BBQ on Wednesday. As Citroenfan said I will at least need to take the steering rack out to replace the rubber boots.
Thanks mberry, I'm quite proud of it myself.
By the way, tadpole question, how do I quote other peoples posts.
Cheers,
John.
