    The power steering makes a grinding noise when I put full lock on.
    Also when the car get warm the steering becomes very heavy.
    Its been sugested it may be the steering pump?
    Any one any Ideas? and if it is the pump , is it a big job to change ?
    Any input welcome
    Thanks

    Have you checked PS fluid level? I had the problem a while back - one of
    the pipes, which runs L-R across bottom of rad, had come unclipped, rubbed
    with vibration and eventually started to leak.

    Fluid level is ok and there are no leaks as far as I can see but will
    double check.
    Cheers

    Oh dear. Sounds ominous. Could well be pump - though I'm mystified why
    steering gets heavier when car hot. For the sake of a couple of seconds, do
    check tyre pressures are OK. Sorry I can't think of anything else. Keep us
    posted....
