CAN ANYONE HELP, MY STEERING HAS A STRANGE FAULT WHICH SEEMS WORSE IN THE MORNING/OR NOT USED FOR A WHILE AND DISAPEARS AFTER AROUND 25 MINUTES, THE WHEELS WANT TO STAY STRAIGHT FOWARD, WHEN YOU TURN IT FEELS STIFF, A LOCAL GARAGE CALLED IT THE 50PENCE SYNDROME!!! TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEY WANTED OVER £1000 TO REPLACE THE PUMP & RACK !!!!
IV'E CHANGED THE FLUID AND ITS IMPROVED BUT THE FAULT IS STILL PRESENT.

Are you getting a good fluid flow back in to the resovoir? Some resovoirs have a srainer at the bottom that can become choked.
