Car was serviced and MOT'd a couple of weeks back and there was an advisory note that the 'steering rack inner joint' was showing signs of wear. I thought that the steering rack was connected to the road wheels by track rod ends, so what are these mysterious inner joints?
Also, developed a pretty severe coolant leak (first problem in 3 years of ownership). I couldn't trace it but dealer replaced pipe at rear of engine. This is a sod of a job apparently (well, it was judging by the labour charge - pipe was cheap enough). I couldn't see pipe from engine bay and dodgy back prevents grovelling underneath cars these days. Anyone else have problems like the above please?
I should have asked for more details at the time of service but was still groggy from the sedatives they gave me along with the bill.
