Just bought a rallye and have found a few problems, ive got most of them covered and will be dealing with most of them tomorrow or next week (service, radiator, vibration through the dash) but i have just found that there is a power steering fluid leak, i cant see where it ia coming from put it is dripping from the drivers side around the bulkhead area, does anyone have any idea where this could be coming from and if so the best way about solving it? There is also a uel leak coming from around the same area.
Cheers

Highly likely it is your steering ram if the oil is dripping from underneath. Mine went not to long ago. I think a new ram was about £125 from the pug dealer. Make sure you get the correct one as the one for the gti6 is different to the other 306 models as the ram is what limits the steering lock to the right. Get the wrong one and you shall fail your MOT as the front left wheel shall hit the gearbox on full lock.

I'll go along with Fletch as to the fuel leak, those white and green 90 degree plastic cubes are where the leak is 99% of the time. I had to use cable ties to make my fuel hose grip onto them better to prevent leaking.

As for the dash vibrating, good luck fixing that one!! Mine vibrates but its a massive job taking it out to try and put washers where you'd want them to help prevent vibrations. I did find that the A-pillars can vibe on the dash where the tongue goes under the dash, a wedge sorted that out on mine. The other bit that vibrates on mine is the centre bit where all the controls are. I keep meaning to pull those bits off and fit sponge pads behind them but I just havent gotten around to it yet. I also have an annoying vibration on the rear LH side somewhere, I have yet to find that one

Ah the 70+ wobbles. When I had my tyres fitted last time it went which meant they had the balancing right Then as the fronts wore I swap fronts for rears and as soon as I did that the damn 70+ wobbles came back! That will teach me for doing what i did

New tyres soon anyway though as the edges are dead now and they wont pass an MOT

I can get these rams, they are genuine ones and are cheaper than the above, will check into it for you tomorrow and post back.

Wear OLD clothes, they are going to be getting at minimum some but more than likely a lot of hydraulic fluid on them

I think there is a guide somewhere on here, try a search in the FAQ bit of the forum. Short of that it in no particular order it is undo the big nut that attaches the ram to the rack. Undo the two nuts that hold the pipes onto the ram that feed it its hydraulic oil. Undo the two bolts that hold the body of the ram to the car. This is from memory though and I changed it some time ago so I have probably forgotten something.

These are now no longer available new and are hard work to source, there are a few dotted around as old stock, just a heads up.
