my VT was leaking through the steering rack itself into the outer boot!!! When Holden inspected the steering rack they slid the boots off and discovered them dripping fluid.

The pump was also shot due to low fluid levels (no matter how often I topped it up). Both were replaced with refurbished units from coventrys, cost me $2,500 fitted by Holden.

Is your arse still hurting from the reaming?
Firstly, if you had shopped around you could have picked up an exchange rack for $200.00 to $250.00. AC Delco reconditioned pump add another $150.00. This should not have cost more than $700.00 to fix. Next time you are in Sydney I have a harbour bridge for sale.
