Not a major issue changing this seal , once it's removed the process is quite easy fitting the new one .

IMHO , the only reason I'm doing it is because I want to eliminate any PAS pump and prevent fluid failures under the bonnet that would then wreck the alternator , "belts" engine and generally don't want oil spills out on track that would cause a problem .

OBD or OBD2 . Would love to know as I want to buy a compatible Elm327 dongle to transfer my Revs and other info to my Harry's lap timer app.
Oh forgot to say the app is on IOS
