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.
