A voluntary SVA could be an option?
OK it will cost a few quid but it would sort this all out by having the system examined when fitted to a vehicle, showing it is up to type approval standard or not. It would surely help sales and pay for itself in the long run?
VOSA have a PDF about how it works. Unfortunately I can't put a link to it from my phone. I'm trying to help.

Re: HERCULES ELECTRONIC STEERING TEST DRIVE
do you only need p,a,s if you have fatter tyres on the front? i ask cos my steering is not heavy. i know that some may need it, and auto. but was available from the factory, why not retro fit? as for advertising! if you advertise then i think you should be prepared to answer questions and give help and advice on the forum to. as some others do. thats just me though. happy days.

Re: HERCULES ELECTRONIC STEERING TEST DRIVE
Good point about the SVA. Maybe everyone who's modded a vehicle should put in for one?
For what it's worth, anyone checked the state of their steering relay lately?
Probably never been looked at since your van was built I only mention this since I finished stripping out a breaker recently and found that the aforementioned item was stiff and notchy - the bearings have failed with old age...

OK no pics yet but having got it apart - DON'T even try, it's a horror story - bearings looked ok and SKF specials so no replacement possible as yet. Might be a slightly bent shaft giving a tight spot. Strange...
