now .. i have stupidly guessed that the bigger connector on the rack is the feed , and the smaller connector on the rack is the outlet back to pump.
is this correct ? as i have just connected up my electric pump and it seems to lock the steering ! , you can feel the steering wheel try and stay in the same place ( jumps back if you can move it a bit )
i noticed that there is a male/male adaptor into the rack for both connectors ,anyone know if these are the same thread ? as i know they are not on the top of them ?
help
or have i just not bleed the system correctly ?

Re: powersteering rack connections
on mine the flow/return connections are right next to each other on the rack. smaller one flow, larger return

poop ... looks like they are around the wrong way ... allthough i think i might be lucky , as both my pipes have adaptors on the end . so i think i can swap them over !
might be messy .. school run first .. then i will try
fingers crossed !
