Oh dear, Keep us posted, lets hope its not the crankshaft though! Mark

YES! Done it. Was a combination of relief valves and pipe-work. Had to reset DRV without a gauge, so now blowing pipes left, right and centre, but all good. More power than it's ever had. Thanks all - especially you Mark. Support much appreciated! :claphands: Way Hay! Well done Nick, glad she's up ...

Well your moving forward Nick, thats the main thing eh Keep us posted please. Will help best possible. Cheers Mark

The procedure for removing the steering pump is in the workshop manual you can find in the download section. Best to follow that really if you have not done one before.
