but unfortunately you loose count of how many times you've turned the wheel is it 4 or 5 turnes to get round that corner and if you got the gym more you'd not need the power steering your getting to used to the german barge, next you'll have the cruise control on the escort too

Ah fair play!
Have you got any pics of your dash with the PS installed, i'd like to see just how it looks and how much has been butchered to make it fit?

Oh ok, if one of you could get a pic up that would be handy!
Is that were the motor protrudes I guess?
