give the powersteering pump a sharp tap with a hammer
and the ingition turned on (bushes stick)

Mine has the same problem, jst switch your car on and wait a few minutes and set off slowly as possble you should here a high pitched noise for a bit den mine works lol

[brooksy22]

As said just give it a wack with a hammer normally does the trick

[pink-lady]

will probably just change it then, are they exspensive?

[pepper953]

anywhere from £50-250

if your cars lowered the pipe is obviously lower and i think it rubs on the floor or something, have you checked to see if thats leaking?

[pink-lady]
