   When I start my car recently sometimes the powersteering doesnt work straight away normally after abit it starts. Guessing its on its way out right?
   
   Also can I just buy on any powersteering pump to replace it? for example I dont need a vtr one right there all the sames from 1.1 to vts?

   I noticed that with my old clio and was never sure whether it was just me or it was actually broken.

   Yeah they should be all the same. I would try your local scrappy to see if they have any in stock, or if no luck there then i normally use these guys for my Citroen Car Parts, try them out if you get a minute!!
