Hi guys. Power steering is normal when first started, but as soon as i pull off, goes very heavy, and seems to work intermittently through the day, regardless of speed. Any ideas? Cheers.

Thanks bud. Being a novice as i am, is this something i can do, or is best to leave to the professionals?

should be quite easy mate....ive just found out my heater matrix is prob shot ...tell you what you do my matrix i'll do your speed sensor :headvswal :headvswal :headvswal

Does sound like the speed sensor mate. just clean the terminals with electrical cleaner.

I've been trying to get at the connector on my speed sensor now for about 6month. Even with the car on the ramp I can't reach the connector.. Ideas welcome..Apart from remove the gearbox:)

Mine is also going on the ramp in work tomorrow, so will be able to explain more then. I will ignore your request to do your matrix!!!! Thanks for your help, guys.

Had to take off the o/s exhaust to make easy access to the sensor connectors, but is quite an easy and straight forward job. However, it hasnt made any difference, so any other advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

has your speedo been converted?

if so they are generally done by a little balck box which is wire behind the dial cluster these can develope a fault remove it if you have one and see if that cures the prob..

Thanks Gaz, will have a look. I have it converted, but the fault was there before i had it done. The boys at the garage only have a uk version of consult, so i might put an sos in to Gregg, and get it booked in with him. Thanks for your help. Daf.

still waiting over a year later lol!!

I had this same problem, it was bad connections at the kph to mph converter that the previous owner had fitted behind the clocks. i just refitted it making sure the connections were good then bob was my uncle and fanny was my granny.

pop up mate and we can put another speed sensor and clean wiring up for you and see if that sorts it first.
