986 Boxster S 2000
Not sure if this issue is confined to 986 Boxsters or general Porsches, either way any help/suggestions are appreciated.
Issue: Apparently there is a connection on the power steering rack return line which is crimped. The crimp is now split along 75% of its length. Parr's (P specialist in Crawley) says its a known issue. Problem is that to replace it (the whole line needs to be replaced) involves 5 hours labour for £150 part (ish) which is obviously a huge cost on what is a relatively low value car. Parr suggested trying to find a company that specialised in joining high pressure hoses together, preferably on cars.
I'm in West Sussex but obviously given the alternative happy to go anywhere to get it fixed.
If anyone has had a similar issue or knows of a company that might be able to help please let me know.
Thanks.
