Find a different garage or a mobile mechanic? If there is money on the table you will find someone to take it for the work.
I'm sorry but you haven't read my post properly. I won't fit (or have fitted...) secondhand parts. From my experiences with them in the past it is false economy.

Hi

That is your choice and I think you have backed yourself into an expensive corner :o

Your car is listed as a 2012, that is now full of old parts.

I'm sure C3Driver52 was just giving you some options to help lower the cost of the power steering repair.

Fitting new parts to a very old car can be enough to make the job uneconomical to do. In some cases it may not even be able to be done due to the high cost of new parts out of reach to the owner.
