   After putting a Vts lump in my quicky the pas works when you first turn the car on, then stops working until you restart it again, and so on
   Any ideas?

   PAS system is linked (electrically) to the alternator - IE, when there's no charge from the alternator the PAS wont work. Are you getting any other type of electrical gremlins?
   
   When you say it works when you first "turn the car on" do you mean when the engine first runs, then after (how long?) it stops?

   Ah I see! And no mate only that! Like when you first start the engine it'll work for maybe 20 seconds? Then stop mate

   possibly the relay, relays can work for a few seconds then think the cars off and turn off, its just an electronic switch
