    When moving away earlier after being parked, the power steering felt heavy when i did a couple left turns. The stop light flashed when i was making the manouvers and went out both times. Seemed fine the rest of the journey. The fluid level looks a tiny bit below minimum so will top it up...

    I recently had mot which picked up possible leak on steering rack. I put some Lucas stop leak in to sort it, and while it seems to have worked, every time I now turn the wheel I hear a quiet sort of squealing sound for a couple of seconds coming from the pump area. My question is, a) does this...

    Ok I've got an ongoing problem with the zafira we've got at present and wondered if anyone has any ideas on this. Every time it gets very warm the power steering fails on the car. We had a mechanic check the car out from our breakdown company and he said the alternator isn't holding enough...

    Hi, I have a New Vivaro on a 66 plate and for the last month or so when the van is started the dashboard display very briefly flashes "Power Steeing Fault". As I can't seem to find the power steering fluid bottle I assume it's electric power steering. Is this anything to be worried about or...

    Hey everyone! Recently I replaced the power steering pump, and now I have air in the system. I wanted to know if there's any bleed valve in the system anywhere or what is the most correct way of bleeding the air of the system. I was considering following the method on the video below, wouldn't...
