they would definatly be able to re-con that mate,sounds like its just the seals gone and the power steering fluid is leaking past and into the rubber boots,had it before on a 16v astra,not a problem they can do it.

I've had an absolute nightmare with the rack lately. There is a thread not too far down on here. Make sure you get yours done rather then getting a re-conned, as I got stung with this and got a normal sierra 4x4 one sent. Paid £90 + vat to get mine done, and the same again for fitting.
