Looks class man. Electric powersteerin pump from a 00 astra is what u want. Loads of lads running them

Thanks for the comments lads.
So iv booked in to tynagh on the 8th get a bit more driving done, hopefully with no problems :)
Haven't done anything with the brakes as yet,
I have fitted an electric powersteering pump from an astra all plumbed and mounted, just need to wire it up properly and heat shield it.
As the original pump is removed I have a shorter belt to go on but needed to modify the tensioner so I removed the self tensioner and will replace the spring with a solid stainless unit so that should see it all finished and running.
It's a pretty straight forward swap most awkward thing was making a mount for it.
While I was at the tensioner I decided I'd make up a new gear lever as the current one was a bit last minute, not that user friendly and a bit shit looking.
That's pretty much where it's at right now.

Astra pump fitted

Excellent work done here and looks great..

Spent a few hours at this today.
Sorted out some of the niggly bits that annoyed me and degrease the engine bay after a power steering pipe decided to let go.
It was running a bit lean after the last day out so had a look into it, vacuum hose had cracked, replaced it and it was on the button luckily as my knowledge is limited.
Took a pic aswell that I liked so I said I'd post it
