   from what i thought was the rack leaking it turns out its the power steering pipes that have rubbed through
   
   car is down 60mm guessin this is the reason
   
   need some help now
   
   where do i get new pipes from
   
   and how do i prevent it from happening again

   Really? i had the same problem but i was 80mm all round when my power steering pipe went,
   
   put the car back up to 60mm and it's perfect now,
   
   I got my pipe from citreon themselves, 73 quid for VTS or 126 quid for VTR, i hope you own a VTS

   This happened to mine, and i'm only 40mm.
   I suppose a scrappy might have one, if not then Citroen.

   Same here aswell mate, best bet to get your self a phase 1 set beaucse the 1st bend is tighter and clears the rack,
   Or get phase 2 ones and twist and ty-wrap them out the way
