More steerin woes....

(1/3) > >>

Disco-Ron:
Got a new PS pump to replace the leaky one, fitted it, filled the fluid up, started the engine, topped up as needed, bled from the top of the box, BUT stil getting no power assistance.....ARGH!!!!

I've really had enough now, gonna remove the return pipe sometime and check flow, other than that i'm kind of stumped.......

Any ideas..???

extreme90:
is it moaning and groaning ?

you aint got any siezed ball joints have you ?
they give the fake impression as you have no pas

Disco-Ron:
Well, it's not making any sounds at-all....

I wondered if something had 'stuck' as it'd been standing for 2 damp weeks, so jacked it up, and i can easily turn the wheels lock to lock...... so nothing sticky mechanically......

I'm ready to scrap this damn truck now, i've had enough or it......

what a coincidence, have used Disco today, power steering moaning and groaning,  and oil pumping out of reservoir, does this mean power steering pump probably knackered   :roll:

a random stab in the dark thing here.

On my rover 620 I was using steering fluid like it was going out of fashion but none dripped on the floor. It turned out there was a sensor in the gearbox that when I was going slwoly it made steering light and at speed made the steering heavier. The fluid leeked into the gearbox and ended up destrying the diff seals eventualy :(

Has a Disco got a sensor in the gear box which is sending a signal to be heavier on steering than it should be?

Just wondering as rover 620 / disco same parent co obviously.
