However, you will note that there are 12 versions of the RHD rack. The good news is that it seems to be a commonly used part across the VAG model range and not a specific SEAT part so finding a used one may be easier.

thanks for that mate but i aint sure how i will know which part i need for my car (im new to all this) and if i get the wrong part number but it is a variant will there be problems getting the part coded ?
There should be a sticker in the boot with the information you need. This will give a build date and the code PR-1N3, PR-1N5 or PR-1N7. With these pieces of information, you can look up the part number in the table provided by @Seriously? .
Some of the part numbers have an X at the end. This is accompied by the comment "Detail of the restored at the factory". I'm guessing that these are refurbished parts?
Yes, a "body" allowance is changed over and above the initial cost, with that part of the cost being returned or removed when handing in a suitably intact part for exchange. VW Group have been doing this for many years, I seem to remember buying an "X" water pump for my wife's 2002 Polo in 2006 when it got its first cam belt change.
guys thank you l so much for all the responses i am going to look for the sticker in the boot do you know where i will find the sticker??? and i am in northwest london do any of you guys have a mechanics that i can take the car to that could also do the programming and fit the part for a good price ?
Lift the carpet up and on mine it is in the spare wheel well, its just a white sticker about 10x5cm.
My warranty or service record booklet also has one in it. HTH
1N3 = speed-related variable steering assist
1N5 = power steering with Motability aid
1N7 = dynamic steering

From your VIN number it also lists PR code: 1N3
and then the part number for the steering rack as 5Q2 423 055 L
I would still do your due diligence - and call a Seat dealer parts dept, and ask for a price and part number for the rack linked with your reg to 100% make sure you are getting the correct part number.

i tried seat parts and they wouldnt give me a part number even trietrone 9f the parts guys associated with this website is that part i have incorrect then??
The photo you shared wasn't the rack part number. The part number will probably have a QR code next to it on the label.
I believe that part number I shared is correct but it's relying on the part catalog I have access to (it's a none genuine one - but can do VIN look-ups) - but I can't confirm 100% - for your car - so If I were you i'd try and double check that part number from another source.
If you search google with that OE number you can see there have been loads of iterations/supersessions of that number (different letters on the end) and L is the latest.
