    Is anyone an expert with the elctric power steering fitted to modern cars?

    I think its Corsa electric power steering that a number of autotest competitors have used

    I have heard of this being used - think an install may have turned up on a link to the original thread. Either way, it's hefty work.

    if you are going to use corsa power steering then get it second hand/scrap yard as when we replaced some at work im fairly sure they were ~800 for a new column.
    like most things vauxhall it isnt actually vauxhall... i think its got mitsubushi on so might be worthwile checking some jap cars in the scrappies.
    if i change another one at work i will try and keep the old one if anyone wants to have a fiddle with it?

    Corsa PAS is a bit poo IMO - missus had one on her corsa, and it'd tend to overhead and pack up as soon as it's asked to do something vaguely strenuous like parallel parking. The price quoted earlier ain't far wrong either (so we sold the corsa and bought a Seat :-) )
