I am speaking from a sample of 1, there >may be some more extreme examples out there ... I've had a leaking pump and rack for the last year and as long as I don't make any full lock turns I can keep my Pentision consumption quite low, like 1 litre a month to month and a half. But, If I do lot's of tight parking I'm gonna add at least a litre every week! Remember if the pump fails you've got both manual steering AND brakes, and unless your prepared for the increased effort in the brake pedal your in for a big suprise! Me, I personally like unassisited brakes, but then I'm used to driving Race cars. Later! Eric Fletcher '87 5KCSTQIA2RSR2B STEADIRIC@aol.com
