Hi Guys, got a slight problem, had the car off the road for some work and before the PS was okay, however when I took it out today, at first the PS was as light as a feather, could turn full circle with a finger. During the morning on the way to Cambridge, the PS started to "lock up", whilst turning it would start moving okay (lightness had gone) then it would hit a brick wall, with a bit more effort, whoosh.. it went round.., This "locking up" was happening all the time as I could feel it in the wheel.

 

I have checked the fluid level, and its fine, so any suggestions would be grateful.

Buggered pump.

take the filter out and check the level ... as the filter can fool ones self in thinking there is plenty in it

 

other than that check your wiring on the dash clocks

are you running an import with a speedo convertor ? when they let go and fail , that is the symptoms you get ,

Been driving it today and things seem back to normal, so maybe it just needed a bit of use after being out of action for a while, I am interested in the references to the wiring on the dash and the speedo converter on an import (which mine is)?

 

cheers

I did mine as my Z is a 91 import!
