Any EPAS fans out there?

Umm, R53 Mini's have an electric powered HYDRAULIC power steering pump. They have hydraulic power steering.

EPAS units like the one the OP is considering are fully electric, no hydraulic side at all. It's just a motor that provides assist directly to the steering shaft.
I don't really care what the **** you have to say. The Steering is electric controlled and with no battery power it don't steer. Its amazing you don't have 50 or more quotes in this post at one time like usual. Oh I see there aren't that many to Quote yet . Mrs. suspension queen.
