    What's up with the rack mate? If it's just play then get it welded up, cheapest option and there are loads of posts about it on here:

    As for the throttle position switch you could try GSF http://www.gsfcarparts.com/

    The MoT guy may have just presumed it was the rack though.

    Worth finding out exactly what the problem is before spending out....

    That's why I asked him what the problem was with the rack

    Some garages presume the rack is finished when there is play in the steering when one simple weld can fix it!
