    Thanks, i changed the alternator about 4 years ago as it wasn't charging at all and alternator light was on dash.

    Power steering high pressure hose routing

    Thanks, there is no bracket for it that I can see, I had a garage fit it so not sure whether there was one in there. Would having no fixing for it produce any vibrations?
