'there is something wrong with the power steering pump'
'why'
well when the engines not running its really hard to turn the wheels'
to which i replied 'derr, why do you think its got power streering?'
simon added 'don't you think it may have something to do with the size of the tyres'

needless to say it won't be going there again

Had a similare problem some time ago with a inspector (HSE if memory serves), when inspecting a tractor the inspector said the steering was bad and was increadibly heavy and demonstared this be hanging all his weight on the steering wheel and not getting any movement. My grandad just reaches in, starts the engine and proceds to turn the steeing wheel lock to lock with a single finger in the middle of the wheel :roll:  
Inspectors.... :smack:




Power Steering is where a hydraulic system with a (incomprehndable to to mear mortals) valve block works an actuator that moves the wheels and is fitted to slow vehicles like tractors, has no mechanical link from steering wheel to road wheels and is not allowed on high speed vehicles (ie cars).

Power Assisted Steering (PAS) is what is fitted to cars (and high speed tractors). There is a direct mechanical link from steering wheel to road wheels which is assisted by either hydraulics or electics. This means that if the hydraulics or electrics fail at speed you can still control the vehicle.
