best way to link power steering hose to copper pipe
Ahh that one. I believe that loops down through the nose then out the back. If it returns to the pot it's low pressure, so should be fine.

... Struggling to get my head round it. What it sounds like is you've cut the high pressure feed line the rack from the pump. You want a Jspec high pressure line.

*Sigh* some people on the road.....
I regularly roll down the middle lane passing people doing 60 in the "fast" lane. What they are overtaking in that lane I dunno because no ones using the middle lane.

*Sigh* some people on the road.....
Some people just don't like being behind anyone, I don't know why. I had it the other day I attempted to make a perfectly safe over take of a focus doing 40 in a 60. Rather than living with this instead he moved into the middle off the road to block my path and slammed the brakes on, I didn't panic (never do, it's not a good thing lol) and used the available space to stop myself colliding with him, he then accelerated and wouldn't let me back on the right side. I was forced to give up by that point and merge back in. He then resumed his 40mph. I regularly get people under taking me after round abouts, I'm indicating left to move back in after passing a lorry etc, when honk some idiot is weaving between the lorry and undertaking me. How they don't get that I can't see you when your impatiently trying to undertake me, I don't have rear a veiw mirror it's a van stupid. rather than letting me move out your way as per the indicated signal I'm giving. People moan about white van men, honestly though being a slow white box people show you no thought. A friend of mine had a similar issue using a filter lane, the guy chased him down the road pulled in front of him and tried to block him in. Then got out with a baseball bat. My mate managed to zip round and get away. The shocking thing was the bloke had his kids in the car! Some real psychos out there as well as complete brainless idiots.

Prices for repair work - Fair?
Sort of but far less intense.

quick question about rear colour extension cable
It's so they can be adjusted with the boot trim in place, which sits a fair bit higher over the strut top.

Prices for repair work - Fair?
I could make a suggestion... However it would require some risk and bravery.

Sounds too cheap. The rebuilding of the turbos will cost than that alone and the labour to remove and refit more. I wouldn't be surprised to see quotes of £1300-1500 for turbo replacement. Equally a half decent clutch assembly is going to cost you a fair amount, although labour isn't too bad, few hours. If your turbos are goosed they as units to rebuild are virtually worthless.

Quick radiator question?
For the extra few quid, go splurge on an aftermarket alloy rad. Is it necessary? Not entirely. Will it give you peace of mind and a greater ability to absorb the unforseen? Yes. The stock rads are old now, so the chances of picking up one that's fully clean and unblocked without any damage and able to keep up it's duties is less likely.

What is this for any why is it by-passed?
Iirc I just the plug off and joined the two together. I'm going to follow the loop through into the cabin and create a nice secret immobiliser.

Best bet is to get in touch with Steve Byrnes. I take it you've got a public area ticket, not a stand pass?

What did you do to your zed today?
Better trans mount is on my list as well I did find a poly mount very similar but much cheaper, can't find it again now though. When you give the sharp end it can some times feel like the box swings around in there.

Starter relay I believe, manual conversion?

Who would have thought 4 bits of plasrtic for a fiver would make such a difference.
I couldn't fit the vernier gauge in there, I didn't think a tape would be accurate enough?
