I'm having problems with my steering, don't think I have any problems with the speedo, other than it's lazy. (been like that since i've had it)

In the last few days I have been have problems turning, the best way o describe it is that it's lumpy. Sometimes it's light then heavy then light, this is on the same turn. Hope it make sence

I've checked the fluid levels and they are ok, checked the sensor in the gearbox and the cap is ok and hasn't come out. haven't checked voltage under there as wasn't sure how to do it.

any ideas??

Have you checked the belt tightness, as your turning the sterring wheel and certainly on full lock, it can give a kinda bumpy feeling in your hands if it's a tad loose or badly worn.

Belts fine, steering seems ok when stationary

Is that stationary with engine on or off ?

Might want to check the speed sensor. (Had the same problem with my car. The ecu didn't get a speed signal).

stationary with engine on, will there be a difference with the engine off?

Think the steering is funny when stationary with the engine running, felt heavy earlier

Lumpy steering could be there is an air lock in the system - or the pump is on it's way to pump heaven. Check your tyres are still round on the inside - I found when the carcass of the tyre is exposed (on the insides) the steering is no longer smooth ....

I had this problem, turned out to be a leaking p.s pump so i got it re-conditioned for £100

Or a bad connection to the steering rack solenoid
