Default Knackered 4x4 steering rack WANTED

Want one of these to use for exchange purposes so doesn't matter the condition, willing to pay for postage and possibly a small fee for the rack.

Thanks pete, it's something i would normally settle for but I've had so many problems with the car that i want to be 100% sure the rack is not at fault so it'll have to be a brand new/recon one. I don't actually think my rack is buggered but i'm pretty much at a loss to fix the steering issues i've had, hence why i'm putting on a new rack, although I don't really want to.

Had a couple of threads up about it, in short i get a bad vibration through the steering at about 50-60mph.
I've replaced;

Wheels/tyres
Wheels bearings
Driveshafts
Bushes
TCA
Trac rod ends
Front prop
Swapped brakes (doing this again)
Engine mounts
Shocks
Springs

That doesn't include the new engine and gearbox and loads of other stuff unrelated I've done also. The hubs appear to be ok, but after i replace the rack and brakes again i was going to replace the hubs and see where that gets me.
