Any Idea Where This Fits ????

Electric pump as always been an option i\'ve looked at but i may now be able to keep the variable assistance now with the new set up.

i would be happy to get shut of the variable assistance to be honest - never been a big fan of it to be honest

i hate the transition between loose and tight

I could keep it fully assisted say sub 30mph though Stu then loose it gradually above that above that depending how its controlled Stu. Then its just a case of tweeking the map until it felt right.

yeah not a bad idea

the concept is nice ( for parking etc.. ) - but they should have done it so that it turned on and off around 15 mph - im sure mine is about 40 mph - and its scary on corners !!

the only difference is the earlier one has a remote resovoir which is actually a bit easier to fit but other than that no difference.

I\'m not entirely sure but there is some kind pressure regulator on the stock PAS pump, iirc there is only 1 or 2 wires going to it, there is also a second smaller high pressure line on the rack which you block off if you fit the saxo pump. This may be something to do with the speed sensitive bit or it might just be an electronically controlled pressure reg, it would be fairly easy to check by putting a pressure gauge on it and adjusting the voltage going to reg, if you fancied playing around with it.

you think your steering is scary, i have just fitted a 2 way diff and drove it for the first time today, that is scary!

grinder · February 06, 2007, 08:45:50 PM

so either one will do - thats pretty cool

will see what prices people come back with

so how long did it take to fit yours

and you should have done a write up matey - would stop me asking you 10,000 questions about it !! LOL

mine is always scary - its like a boat in the dry , the wet is just madness and based on that i only drive it once a month - i never get used to it

im hoping the coil overs will sort some of the steering out ( more things to fit !! )

Interesting thread guys

Stu - Stop being a wuss and take it out in the Ice/Snow/Rain/Sleet/Oil/Diesel :yes

grinder · February 06, 2007, 10:10:22 PM

last time i was out in the wet - it stepped out .. full boost in 2nd doing just short of 60 mph

time before that i ended up facing the wrong way on a major round-a-bout in chorley - although that was ammusing !!

Nothing wrong with the back end stepped out Stu as you know mine does it in the dry.........................don\'t be a wuss

Like I said, wuss

Until its stepped out on a dual carriageway, down hill left hander on the 3rd-4th shift, you have not had a proper brown trousers trip! :yes

grinder · February 06, 2007, 10:25:21 PM

OK - your all loonies !!

and kev - yeah i know all about that !!

only time i really paniced when i was sideways on the dual carriage way and i was about 4 inch off my mates drivers door with the front bumper !!

kev-yorks · February 06, 2007, 10:30:39 PM

Get it right Stu not loonies just mildly insane.
