  consists of the pump, reservoir and ECU. The ram is part of the steering rack but has no input into the vehicles steering. It is a safety device to stop kickback during small accidents such as hitting kerbs. This is why it is not listed under the "Steering" section of coverage." Please tell me
• What car next? 6 Jun 2010 (Forum)
  to the ECU - earth pin on number one cylinder injector. Much as I love the old barge, I don't have faith that this car won't fail me again. It has a small oil leak coming from somewhere behind the engine block (gear linkage?)  and drips occasionally on the garage floor so I am thinking

  The error code is lambda sensor low voltage. Basicaly I have made a post a few weeks ago about my car loosing power but no error code was recorded.
