Day 206/365 The Fix
25/07/2010. Yesterday on The Cotswolds Run CooperBeast's power steering pump decided to give up the ghost. Today we took the pump off to try and clean it up. Unfortunately when we stripped it down we found that it had terminal damge inside having burnt out. It was clearly very close to catching fire. Step two then will come later in the week when we fit the replacement pump. Total MINI helped us immensely with this with some great posts about how to remove and refit the pump!
Peanut is only little so she does cop for a lot of the jobs that involve squeezing into small areas. I did get under myself too just to check that the right bolts were being undone!
Groovy word of the day: perseverance
Packing Light?
So after three broken power steering pumps and two replacements, it was decided to buy a shiny new one. However, the pulley was being stubborn and now we have been downgraded to our compact car for our family camping trip. I wonder if it will all fit. We shall see...wish us luck!
