Folks,
My local, highly trusted indy is currently looking at my beloved car to try and source the cause of a strange noise Ive noticed over the last few days.
Symptoms: a noise similar to straining power steering system, particularly noticeable below 1000RPM, don't have to be moving - although low speed manoeuvres do make it more noticeable.
His initial thought was power steering pump (although I admit *foolishly* I didnt check PS fluid level before taking it in)
What do people reckon it is most likely to be? Replacement PS pump needed? just PS fluid top up? Something else?
Hope it's not a replacement pump, as I found one on line for £220+VAT, and thats without labour. Ouch!
