hi guys, im new to the website
glad i've found it
had a problem develop with my p reg 1.4 fiesta zetec (petrol)
one morning the steering just decided to stop, almost like the steering lock was on
managed to get it working after turning the car off then on again
but now its somewhat stiff
defo nothing like the rack or anything as i've checked that over
its gotta be something to do with the power steering
has anyone else had this problem?
any ideas?

check for leaks in the power stearing unit as it sounds like the units "gone"

check you fluid level and drivebelt is tight.

check you fluid level and drivebelt is tight.

brilliant thanks
erm checked the fluid from the word go and there is loads
no leaks either
but the drivebelt is a different story so will have a look
and keep you posted
thanks

well for past reference if anyone looks to this thread for a similar problem
mine has turned out to be a seized brake caliper!
which was unexpected but it happens
hope this may help someone in the future!

well spoke too soon
not the brake caliper
still having problems
car is in garage again now
checking it over for problems
so will keep posted just for future reference
