scenic RX4 "megane" count?Which early Megane had hydraulic power steering racks? Model/s, year/s, engine/s and type/s please?
I have a few 'spare' parts scenics if you need it but Im in TAS and you're in WAThanks Vivid & Haakon.
I ask because these racks could be a good fit into a R17.
Alby here on AF has done a conversion 12 years back and now thinks a Megane rack could be a good rack to use.
So I'm now looking for a suitable Megane rack, if anyone has one out there, please contact me.
This one?

Hi vivid. Would that model have the hydraulic power steering rack?I have a few 'spare' parts scenics if you need it but Im in TAS and you're in WA
that Freo scenic looks the goods.
It’s does. That series of Scenic was built on the Megane 1 platform.Hi vivid. Would that model have the hydraulic power steering rack?
I'm on my way back to Mandurah from Perth so I might call in. See what they want for it. Hopefully it is what I have seen on the net. So could be adaptable. The mount clamps look removable.It’s does. That series of Scenic was built on the Megane 1 platform.

I’d still be using a Clio IV 900cc turbo triple in an R10timely thread I've been ignoring the whine on my scenic's power steering.
so Haakon, that means PH2 went electric?
I really liked the renault electric steering. I haven't driven other electric steering setups but heard and read many critical reviews of electric steering in general.
I don't want to hijack the thread... and others may find my thought offensive, but I've been toying with the idea of setting up an R10 equivalent electric motor. I'm a sofware guy so my interest was if the controller could be setup to give identical performance given the mass of the motor etc in the rear matches the original block mass. Leave the gearbox in. Tho some battery weight in the front wouldn't go astray.
Then all we'd need is to emulate the engine noise and tone. Gets me thinking about an 807 'emulated' block and some serious loudspeakers!
Shoj, is there a reason you wouldn't attempt the later electric steering, or is it related to using the existing 17 plumbing?
Thanks Vivid & Haakon.

that's the 3cyl beasty? how mucha mulla?I’d still be using a Clio IV 900cc turbo triple in an R10
66kw Not much, but lots of low down torque and it’s more than enough for an R10. And a lighter package than the iron block Sierra engine.that's the 3cyl beasty? how mucha mulla?
Yes please! Do you have his 17 with p/steering?Did you still need photos of Alby's Fuego PS => R17 conversion?
I couldn't find the photos on here but I can take some photos over the weekend.
Yes please! Do you have his 17 with p/steering
Hi Vivid.
The coupling to the steering column and the mounts bolts position.
Any close ups are appreciated.
(That cross member looks different to mine!)
There is an early and late model cross member. John yours looks like the early style cross member and is the same as my 1973 R12 and the blue car looks like the later cross member and looks the same as my 1976 R12.
