morning all, seems fix one problem then get another.
anyway symptoms are:
trying to park at low speed/revs very stiff
when driving get the feeling it wants to pull either way
the steering fluid is filled and seems ok
there is a trace of fluid on hoses but nothing drastic
doesn't seem any noise just a feeling of pulling
don't know if this model has that servtronic relay? could it be this?
its a 2001 fl 2.6 mv6
thanks :)

Sounds like a tired PAS pump, does the issue to away with some more revs?
-
it seems too. although when driving you get the feeling of it pulling side to side.
definetly really bad when parking thanks
-

-
was done and it seems fine when driving still goes straight although you get feeling of pulling when holding steering thanks
if it power steering pump anyone have a spare ?

Hi there brian, most prob is a knackered pump, Albs (Albitz) on here should have one? get in touch with him or or look up the parts section he should be there ;D :y

Before you replace anything Brian.Have you checked th fuse ? I once suspected my first Omega had PAS pump trouble as it was very stiff at low speeds but seemed ok at higher speed. It turned out the fuse was blown and the steering was just naturally lighter at speed.
I have checked on your PM question about a PAS pump by the way.According to our resident font of all knowledge,the pumps are the same.The thing that will be different is the pipework,so as long as you retain the pipes from your car rather than use the ones from a 2.5 or 3.0 then it should be fine.
Make sure you actually need one first though. :y

thanks for that,
now the fuse? would someone like to point me in direction of this possible nasty little fuse please
