Car is back home now, still need to fit the grille and all the other things.

Wierd thing, the steering turns itself to the left when the engine is running. Only when the revs pick up a bit. Any ideas?

Dave mentioned something about a valve in the power steering box?

Any help much appreciated.

It was really wet today, cheers for the lift Andy!

Follow the instructions in your workshop manual for centering the steering and adjusting the valve on the top of the steering box. Adjust the pitman backlash while you are on.

You know you have the valve right when the steering does not kick to one side when you fire the engine up (wheels off the ground).

Yes, they are Black Windows. From North Hants Tyres, very nice people. The rear will be lowered to a slightly less dune buggy look.

On with the countdown...

Please don't fight on my thread, why can't we all just get along(!) :hippy2: :Absynth:
