Did you have a nice day no

What you don't say is, how old the car is. Thats not actually that bad, and the handbrake issue should have been apparent to you.

What is the steering malfunction thats dangerous?

Cheers

no i dint have a good day lol

it dont bother me bout the hand brake.

the steering malfunctioning is that it pulls to the left. they dint explain it to me really, just took the fuse out and its heavy now so i have no power steering. some one said it could cost 400 quid to fix.

the car is 1999 so a V reg.

If you front suspensions is fooked, that could cause the pulling to one side.

I suggest change the shock and get tracking done. New shocks is not that expensive But awaits from other people opinions as well

Hope u get it sorted!!

400 quid to get that fixed is not that bad at all, assuming he is using new parts!

Thanks

Can you post all of the fail sheet (or, at least, the important bits)?

 

[Naomi123]

that is all of it, what do you want and i can look to see if it on there??

 

[fingers99]

Does it still pull to the left? Which suspension units are leaking?

 

[Naomi123]

drivers front and drivers rear shocks, the garage told me i cant just put 2 on there i have to have 4 new 1's

you Could use just the two but its not advisable. Especially with them being on the same side. The new vs old shocks will have different charactoristics due to age and use, and so will behave differently.
