Has any one had a problem with the steering on there ford focus . I have a 61 plate 1.6 td esate and when i start it in the mornings my steering is imposible to turn . And today a warning came up saying( Assisted steering malfunction ' need service .) I turned of and re started and it was ok but i no it will happen tomorrow. I took it to fords and they want £80 plus vat to plug it in ( rip off ) they did say that on my model the elec' steering pump is on the rack and it would be £1000.00 pound plus vat and labour if i needed it . Or it could be a modual . Has this happend to anyone out there .
