just bought my old saxo back, missed it too much. power steering is gone though. the person i got it from said its a ten quid fix and its a wire apparently needs sorting. what could this be? i'd like to find out without having to get a new pump.

Sure the battery is fully charged? Is there not a reley that fails that has something to do with the p/s?

aaaah the old ten quid fix.... hope you're lucky and find a faulty wire but main culprit is usually the pump failing

pump certainly is electric, theres a relay for it just above the pump. If it was a tenner to fix it,i'd have thought the guy would have got it sorted prior to selling seeing as a saxo with duff power steering is about as saleable as real estate in Hellmund Province.
