Thank you for the help Parkesie. I'll pass all that on to the garage when I talk to them tomorrow.

Just as a note, my car is also an 08 reg, as most of the others with this issue seem to be, maybe there was a production issue here that has gone under the radar? It's all very disappointing as I originally loved the car but now my ownership experience has been tainted slightly. Oh well fingers crossed for tomorrow.

Got another couple of o rings from Pirtek so fingers crossed although I won't hold my breath. Garage say they'll fit them today so should know tomorrow if it's still leaking.

Seems to be an all too common problem. When are Citroen going to take some responsibility for this and show a little good will or at least supply the correct o rings separately. I'll never buy another Citroen. I've only had the car for 6 weeks and it's been off the road for 3!!!

Greetings all. New to the forum and I have the exact same problem. My steering rack was leaking from the input shaft and my garage sent the rack away for reconditioning (£415 inc labour and vat) Now it's back on the car and the two pipes that most others are having the problem with are now leaking due to re using the same o rings as an alternative to forking out £150 each for new pipes. Parkesie - what I'm a little confused about is that if you had a recon rack fitted didn't they change the pipes too? otherwise you'd probably be in the same position I'm in as once disconnected they need to be renewed (which is ludicrous!) I'm about to go and collect the old o rings from the garage (independent in Lincoln) and take them to Pirtek to see if they can match them, it's a last ditch attempt at saving hundreds more £££s. Any body have any opinions as to whether the exact same o rings will sort it out or do new pipes them selves also play a part in stopping the problem?
