steering problem

(1/2) > >>

spy:
I just bought me my 1st disco!  Got it on ebay last night, j reg 136k mot til october £1000 :D

There is a problem with it tho....  Steering gets lighter and then goes heavy again.  Its sort of notchy?  Feels like a knackered steering UJ on the old fiestas.  Is there a UJ on these or is it box or something expensive?  

Any ideas anyone, is it one to fix or is it back on ebay with it?

Thanks,

Mike

muddyweb:
There are 2 UJ's in the steering shaft... pop the bonnet and you should be able to see them on the left (as you look from the front)

spy:
Thanks for that, I will have a look tomorrow.  Do you think its likely or is it mission steering box :(

Damonski:
Could be something as simple as air in or low on power steering fluid.

Dave:
The uj might need some WD. Mine stiffen up after a bit, dry mud allso can this.
