Check the power steering rack

Everything ok there,no play,no leaks but I will have closer look

Remember to advise that it is an S2 ABY Coupe, and that you've done the underneath of the car already.

Consider a new clutch when the engine is out. Would be a PITA to have to take the engine out again in six months time.

Busman's holiday or not.

Please post photos of your work.

Thanks.

Also check fuel line corrosion near wheel arch, it's easier to replace lines with engine out

Oh yes,I forgot to mention-it is 1996 ABY Coupe and all underneath is done
Clutch brand new OEM,new fuel lines too
