Please please please don't tell me I have a new issue now with the power steering?!!!
Went to move the car now the fog lights are both working to make sure she was ready now for the Mot (booked in for Monday 04/11/2019), and noticed that the steering was very heavy. That was the day before yesterday. Have just lifted the front up to do the re-syncing of the power steering and even though the wheels were clear of the floor they were still heavy to turn. Double checked the reservoir and it was a creamy beige colour. Now, when she was Mot'd last year there was an advisory on the noise the steering was making on full both ways. And I was aware of this noise but thought it was just the fluid that needed topping up. What test is on the Mot and would a pre drive around the nearby private estate free up the steering or do I have a deeper issue here?
I am praying that it isn't something major with the steering. I NEED her back on the road again. My finances cannot take any more.
If photos are required, I will now do that tomorrow morning.
