On their website this morning, that rack is £64.50.
Hang on a minute, it's not £64.50, it's
£75 79 (don't forget the VAT, some firms rely on people thinking that the price they see is the price they pay, and Rally Design is one of
them. This silly practice is rife in the motor trade)

Have you called your local (large) motor factors? I bought one this way last year and exchanged a busted mk1 bringing the cost to 40 quid...

I've got a reconditioned standard rack -never fitted - £40 plus p+p or pick it up.
Cheers

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

Hi yep for STD ratio reconed racks use your local motor factors. should be no more than £45-£50 + p&p ( or from here if someone has one for sale
^^^.)
Also off interest i hear that QUAIF have there 2.2 ratio rack back on the market. Although cant confirm as i have not as yet asked them myself. But it
would be good if they have the good old 1.9 ratio back in production.
Cheers Matt
