    I often wondered where the 5kg option came from. It was always 8kg when I first did the test many years ago.

    I am in New Zealand, so this is of limited help, but will give you an idea. I bought a FL2 that failed WOF (MOT) on steering. Price reflected fail. I took it to a power steering specialist. That is all he does. He told me FL2 racks are perhaps...

    Is it definitely the rack, or the supply pipes that rust away and leak.

    Tell the seller to warm it up fully. As with any potential purchase, take diagnostics with you & check it.

    Yes, but there's no guarantee that the bolts will come out the bushes, so there's that to consider. As for the axle nut, I don't have a 400Nm torque wrench either, so I just do them tight with a 50 year old ¾ breaker bar with my trolley jack...

    If the engine light has lit once, there should be a code stored to read. This will direct you better than changing parts randomly.

    How long have you owned the car? I'd check your fusebox and make sure someone hasn't replaced a (something like) 5amp fuse with (something like) a 50amp one! All wiring is rated well above the fuses, so should not burn out.

    If it performs like a Jaecoo or Omoda, then it'll be as dull as dishwater to drive. I tried a Jaecoo recently, it made our Ioniq 5 seem like a rocket ship on rails. It was a very underwhelming vehicle indeed.

    There's little point in replacing just the rear bushes, as the arm will be rusty, the ball joint will be worn, and the front bush will also be worn. You'll have to have a suspension alignment done for a rear bush, or a complete wishbone, so it...
