Do we know what the donor vehicle is for this electro hydraulic system? If it fits into a saloon, I would guess it will fit into a 2+. It is something I was hoping to install as the main driver of my 2+ is my wife and she is used to power steering since the demise of her Metro! I was contemplating the electric power steering, but I didn't want to be chopping and changing the steering column, dash and wiring about. Sounds like this is a suitable alternative? The engine in mine is off a Zetec escort. I wonder if the mechanical drive power steering pump could be retained in place of the electric one, and the steering rack from the donor used? Not sure if there is space, but would be interested in knowing if the principle is sound if anybody knows...

Hard top & bonnet? Thats a electro hydraulic system, it is basically the same as a normal hydraulic system but as Martin says has an electrically driven pump instead of a belt driven one. The Pug 106 uses this system. The are also completely electric systems with a motor on the steering column. Jim susanandmartinscott wrote: > An electric power steering still has hydraulic fluid!
