Thanks for that! ( Im A bit illieterate when it comes to PCs) the photo is below. The arrow points to the offending pipe with the hole in it. Looking at it, it appears that the pulley has worn the hole into.
I apologise for the photo quality as I just went out and took it  :). rather than try and explain as i wouldn't do a very good job!

As a temporary measure you could bend the pipes straight (they are bent, has it had a front impact?) clean the pipe wela dn wrap with self amalgimating tape. Then fit a jubilee clip with the flat section over the hole area nice and tight.

You need to repalce the entire pump and cooling loop pipe, that requires removal of the bumper and bracket assembly. On the drivers side chassis rail there are two connetions, one is a jubilee style (low pressure fluid return) and the other is a high pressure banjo joint which needs disconnecting. Take the inlet tubing out and the radiator and then you might be able to wriggle it all out...if not then you need to remove the aircon condenser which has very high pressure gas in it.....this is where it gets difficult!

Thanks for that info Marks Dtm. the car does not appear to have had a front impact, it is an ex-plod vehicle so may have? I do not know. I have already with the help of my old man managed to strip the multiram out during the terrible weather we have been getting, I thought i may have to remove the bumper  :( . I have managed to source the pipes from the local scrap yard, i am just waiting for him to strip the engine out of the meega he has in 2.5 V6. He said he would keep the power steering pipes for me!  ;D

Many thanks for your help. Much Appreciated  :y

how come this topic as ended up with someone else's problem of power steering and not the air bag resetting light as it originally started.
I would have thought it only polite to start a new subject.
The reason i say this is i keep getting emails saying someone has responded to my question , only to find its regarding the power steering and not the airbag light.

Hi jud1255

I am afraid it is my fault for hijacking your thread about the light resetting sorry about that  :-X, I too have the light standing on my dash. it just so happend that I said I have a power steering fault that I need to repair first and the kind and helpful People on the this forum offered their advice and knowledge.(Which is surely what  the spirit of these forums is about?)
If this has caused you offence then i will gladly not come back here.

Many thanks to the people that have shared their knowledge.

Don't be daft!  :y You're more than welcome to ask any question you like. Topics do often digress from the original topic - as verbal conversations do - but that's how the cookie crumbles. If we were to change topics every time there was a slight deviation of thread we'd have that many topics going I'm sure it'd be too hard follow any topic.
