  1. Hi Matt, Did the package have your name marked on the package or was it someone elses name. I am on days off and a package is in for me but not sure if its from you or not and it is quite a drive to work if its not the package from you. Regards, Doug
  2. Hi Matt, What sort of condition is it in? If not corroded that would be fine. Just let me know your account details so I can make a bank transfer. If you can deleiver to my work once payment cleared : Doug Corbett C/O Gama Aviation, Hangar 3 Aberdeen Airport East Farburn Terrace Dyce Aberdeen AB21 7DT Cheers, Doug
  3. Due to an unexpected trip to hospital for an operation I have not yet managed to get the Lupo Power Steering pipe fixed. I have car at a mechanics who is not keen to start the job without having the replacement pipe in place. I have tried breakers as well as the classified ads on this site to no avail and although powersteeringstore.co.uk have said they will make one up for me they need to get old one first. My mechanic not happy to have the car stuck on his ramp awaiting new pipe arriving, and the cost of puting car back together to get off the ramps makes cost silly for age of car. Does anyone know where I could get the technical spec of this Power Steering Pipe that would allow them to make up a pipe without sight of the old one or the name of a company who can make one for me? Doug
  4. If it is in reasonable nick and still available I need the power steering pipe that runs across the top of the steering rack. How much if available. Regards, Doug C
  5. I need the Power Steering Pipe that runs over the top of the steering rack. Is this available and how much? My Mobile is 07747134086 if you want to text. Regards Doug C
  6. I need the power steering pipe that runs accross the top of the steering rack. How much would that be please. Thanks, DC
  7. Thanks Hooch, Am on nights and then days over weewkend so will have a go on Monday. Fingers crossed. Doug
  8. The wipers on my wifes Lupo have gone wonky and stuck on. According to her this has been happening on and off for some time but usually she just wiggles the wiper stalk and they come good again. Not now however and not only are the front wipers sticking on which has been the original issue but also the rears have now come on at same time and wont go off. HAs anyone any idea what would cause this? Could it be the control switch in the stalk has burned out or could there be an other reason.
  9. I am not a very experienced mechanic so wondered if this pipe would be something I could fit myself. Doug Stonehaven Aberdeenshire
  10. I have phoned a few breakers to see if I can get a second hand one. Fingers crossed.
  11. Many thanks for giving me hope. Will have a search for a scrapper now.
  12. My wifes 1.0 L Lupo developed a leak in the power steeering pipe which runs over the top of the steering rack. I contacted the local VW Dealer to be told that you could not buy a replacement pipe but would have to buy a complete steering rack !! As it is just the pipe which is corroded and the fact the car is a Y reg the cost of this is out of the question as it would be better putting the money towards another motor. Does anyone know if any companies manufacture replacement pipes and couplings as the rest of the car is is good condition and as the wife really loves her wee car we would really like to hold onto it for a few more years at least. Look forward to words of wisdom from any Lupo Sages out there. Bigdogcasa
