   Hi All,
   
   My VTS has developed a rather annoying noise. Steering seems to be working fine, but as I turn the wheel at any speed I get a squeaking sound. I'm pretty sure its not the pump, sounds mechanical, almost like the sound you get if you run your fingers down a window, if you get what I mean? Is there any lubrication points on the rack etc?
   
   Note: I did venture (gently) down a unmade track with some big pudddles last weekend, I think that may have something to do with it.
   
   Cheers
   Si
