power steering has gone kaput and just doesn't work, and when it does it works for about 5 seconds, but my heaters and rear demister still work, also driveshafts gone (I think), when going round a left corner it knocks and now over bumps i hear a slight rattle which sounds like it's coming from underneath me so possibly something to do with the exhaust as it is blowing a fair bit.
help me! :panic:

If it knocks going round tight turns while accelerating it will prob be cv joint, I've got same problem having new drive shaft done tomorrow.

it's not round tight turns, it's just going left in general haha, even the slightest bit, also on right near full lock it knocks

well my dad used to be a mechanic so he can do it, i'll just make the tea haha
i'll be doing it when i've actually got any money as i only about 100 a week and most goes to insurance and paying towards my holiday weekend this week, looks like lowering and new wheels can be put on hold for a few months
