Right then,

 

Went out for a run a week or so ago and just pulling out of a T--junction, the steering went very heavy (unassisted) for a brief moment. Then all was fine again.

 

Went for another run yesterday (about an hour) and when I was reversing onto my drive when i got back, the power steering went again. Only this time it didn't come back to life again. Parked the car up, checked the fluid level and visible connections - all fine. Scratched my head for a bit, started it up - all fine again.

 

Spookily I had exactly the same problem with my R32, which eventually went and never came back. Am I about to loose my pump - any suggestions.

 

Cheers

Nice one - thanks!

i replaced my speed sensor with one from courtesy nissan usa , prob remained and it was a right **** to get out if its an auto

the real culprit was the conv kit kmh/mph changed that now spot on

Thanks for the generous offer,

 

Recently had my speedo converted from km/h to mp/h by Zedworld. What I have noticed is that below 20mph the needle doesn't move then suddenly jumps up once you pass 20mph mark. Also (at around 100mph) the needle will fall off the scale and then pick up again - I thought this may be something to do with the conversion, but as it always rectifies itself and doesn't last long, I wasn't too bothered.

 

Thinking about it now, the speed sensor is looking more likely to be the culprit, but won't be able to get the car jacked up anytime soon, cos of the hours I'm working.

 

Car is a manual, BTW.
