Hawk Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Hi, I bought my son a fiesta 1.8 diesel christmas 2007, and ithas stood in my drive since april 2008. I have just got round to putting a new battery on, and she fired up second time ! now my problem is, there seems to be No power steering ? there is fluid in the chamber, and no leaks that I can see, not being a mechanic - I wondered if some kind person could point me in the right direction. Many thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember Fords only have Power ASSISTED Steering which isnt the same as power steering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
