hi my power steering has just gone on me .. took it to a garage an they said i need a new power steering pump..

i was just wondering if it is safe to drive with this problem lol.

thanks

I would of thought so,
Just take it easy on corners, and especially roundabouts.
Because obviously its not going to handle as well.

make sure you're built well, as it will be heavy as fuck.

tried hitting it with a hammer?

also before forking out on a new pump to be fitted, check to see if your blower and heated rear window are working, it could be a common problem

People may laugh,
but that is probably the best way to fix it.

PM mandyslover70 for a cheap pump don't fork out for a new one.
When you can pay less for the same thing.

Just whack it with a hammer before you set out. I did it to mine for about 1 year. But a long term fix would be replacement pump yes.

Don't drive it without powersteering as a bump can free up the motor causing the p.s to work again. That's no problem on straight roads but when it happens round a corner you'll shit a brick.

Tell him you don't want the one from P898TMB as he's stripped my car and the p/s was faulty!
