   I am trying to sell my 1.4i Furio so i can upgrade to a faster saxo. Just as im about to sell it the power steering breaks, it isn't anything to do with the ignition because i've fixed that issue before. It seems to be getting progressively worse, it would not work for about 10 seconds and then would, then 10 minutes, and now it takes about half an hour before it kicks in. The reservoir is full and the system doesnt need bleeding. I have a viewing very soon and would appreciate any help on the matter! thanks

   are you sure its not a air lock? turn the car off and let it get cold (The following day is best) and move the wheel lock to lock without the key in the ignition. (Or 1st turn to battery light if it locks up).
   
   Then start the engine and turn the wheel lock to lock a few more times.
