paradigm shift Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 My power steering has finally given up. It's been iffy for a few months but has now totally had it. Any ideas of what I should be looking for or common faults? A slipping belt perhaps? I vaguely remember a belt slipping a while back and whenever it did the steering got heavy.

LR90 Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Well checking fluid levels and belts tension is a good start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NegevLandRover Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Well checking fluid levels and belts tension is a good start. My steering failures were caused by the bearings along the link between the steering wheel and the steering box ceasing up and another time by the PAS pump failing. Can you give us some more symptoms ?? Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paradigm shift Posted November 19, 2005 Author Share Posted November 19, 2005 Checked the fluid level today. Very low (wasnt even touching the dipstick). Topped it up but it hasn't made any impact so I assume something has died on me. Will take a closer look during the week, and failing that I guess its off down to my trusty local garage again! I can't offer any more symptoms as I don't drive her too often (only when playing offroad) and it's been a while since I think it went. Mum's been complaining it's heavy so it's time to take a look at it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
