ah ok, my old one was nearly torn in half when i replaced it, maybe 1000 more miles and it would have been bye bye steering! :nono:

Must say i hav,nt checked the fluid yet but will do tonight. I thourt it was something to do with engine speed sensor,s ect I need to speake to ryan {z-tech} but cant get hold of him

If the speed sensor tells the car you are going really fast then your steering will be heavy as the power assisted steering gets less the faster you go. If you fluid level is low your hicas light should stay on when you start the car.

Unless someone has taken the bulb out to fix another problem :(

 

Does your speedo work? That proves the signal through half the system. Seems there is a lot of problems with speedo convertors over there. Otherwise check the steering controller. Have a search too as this has been covered many many times before.
