mind you i like doing them the long way as well!!!!!would turn into a cracking job with a service and a fucked steering rack lol
Then Vauxhall spat its dummy out at how much they were losing in rack changes so had us rebushing the shite things

Soldering the eye lets, I used to clean them up using a gasket cleaning disc (the 3m things) then heat the back of the terminal with a gas tourch then apply solder...could be done very quickly. I had to rework a few that another dealership had done where the solder just sat in dry blobs on the surface

The later ABS recall with the stupid plastic cover is a problem that many manufactuers are having, it's just you only seem to hear of Corsa's having problems. With Peugeot it was a add on sub loom that changed it from a permemant 12v feed to a ign switch. But they had an odd thing with the control unit, they only replaced it if there's 'red rust' on the bolts that secure it to the modulator.
