| It's always a nail biting wait for the result! My Trooper had MOT a couple of weeks ago and sailed through too! |

I believe the steering boxes are the same (recirulating ball) all through the Trooper range and if so, they can be adjusted quite easily to take out the slack. Some garages don't realise it's a box, not a rack and get a bit worried about the slack. 25mm - 30mm is not unsual.
I've done mine once and I do prefer it tighter!
Oooer missus... 
Drop me a PM with an email address & I will send you a how to. It's a PDF file so cannot post it here...
