volvo again Master Member Last Online: Today 14:56 Join Date: Jun 2018 Location: Presteigne, mid Wales	V70 MOT fail Mot failure for leaking steering rack o/s , (see my previous post) and advisory for play in n/s inner tie rod. Spent all day removing rack in order to fit repair kit of new seals etc, however... no fluid leaks to be found, inside of gaier was bone dry, no fluid from pinion top or bottom seals, also on removing inner tie rod, no play at all in ball joint, but fitted new anyway. Refitted and filled with fresh atf, bled system and no leaks after running for 30 mins. level in reservoir okay There was plenty of gunge over the o/s steering rack gaiter and surrounding area due to split in inner driveshaft boot, which was all cleaned off. Now my question is, should I take this up with the tester when it goes for retest? Apparently he's only been qualified less than a year so not sure if he doesn't know what he's doing or maybe touting for work? __________________ 1998 V70 2.5 Auto & Supercharged Mercedes C Class...
