i have a 1500 fwd that has a rather large steering wheel. as the wheel on the dolomite range is smaller i was wondering if they had power steering? |

None of them did from the factory but I've read a couple of Vauxhall Corsa electric steering conversion posts here. |

Dolomites (save for the early 1850s and some early Sprints) had a lower ratio steering rack thereby meaning less effort is required, hence the smaller steering wheel. Ian. |

This Corsa PAS convo only works on cars with auto trans, as the motor occupies the space normally used by the clutch pedal assembly!There now appears to be a EPAS kit in varying degrees of DIY, or a factory fit option, for ALL models of Dolomite. But it is MEGA expensive (£2k upwards) as it includes a mass of bespoke parts, all of which are safety critical. Think it may be made by a Dutch company, but assume they have at least one UK outlet. At least one club member has had it done, but I can't remember off the top of my head, who it is! Steve |
