Right, each time i start the car up the power steering doesnt work but everything else does like the rear heated screen and the blowers so its not the common problem that i had a while back.

there is enough fluid in the resivoir(sp) and sometimes it will come on after 10-15 mins but others it just wont come on.

i think it may be a loose connection as i had it re-wired when everything went.

any ideas or anyone with the same problem?

check the pipes going to the steering pump as mine failed on me once going round a corner because 1 of the pipes had wobled loose

could be the signs of the ignition barrel contacts starting to go?

its got slightly better but still doesnt come on for the first 10 mins.

will take it to my local auto sparky to have a look.

could also be the pump as its common to go as well.
