General 2.0 20v power steering pipes needed

[BOGGY]

hello

need to know if anyone has any ideas on where i might be able to source some power steering pipes for marea weekend 2.0 hlx quickly, local fiat dealer say they can't get them till monday, need to get to cardiff on sunday

 

[Hellcat]

Are they Fiat parts only? How about motor factors? Can't they get hold?

 

[BOGGY]

can't get them anywhere before monday! fortunatley my old man will let me borrow his transit for my trip to cardiff. at least that'll save me on fuel

I'm guessing yours is a 20v beastie?

Glad you're sorted, just make sure you're covered by the AA if you're driving a Ford

in 2003 ford were 2nd and fiat were 9th, in 2002 ford were 3rd and fiat were 2nd. not much to choose between them but statistically ford are more reliable and cheaper to repair. then again i would say that, i'm a ford fan with plans to return to the world of rust as soon as i can find a clean series1 rs turbo, or maybe even a mint RST replica xr3i. you know you would

Never really have liked fords, Escorts always seemed very tinny compared to the Tipos at the time.

Plus my feet got stuck under the drivers seat when I sat in the back and I couldn't get out..

would you believe it? pipes supposed to be at garage monday, not there tuesday so garage chases up with fiat, fiat replies "sorry mate there's none in the country, had to order them from italy". i hope it's not going to be like this for all the parts i ever need!
