    Power steering failure

    Gottta 86 110 county

    That suddenly ceased to have steering that was light

    Tis now so heavy gotta train for a couple days to test it

    The steering fluid tank was mt so refilled it with 1 litre of

    Hyd oil but it leaked out somehow in about 2 mins when I started

    To move the steering around to get the air out

    So my question is is it safe to drive it bout 20ks to my

    Mechanics place to get it fixed --------- yeah I know

    Do it yerself but there is a problem with that am 74 with

    Arthuritus in the hands which makes it difficult so your advice

    Will be appreciated thanks

    It's safe to drive as long as you have the strength; it will get lighter with speed (oh, it's a County.... no such thing as speed )
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Find the leak, mine spat out the circlip and seals[drop arm shaft] doing a tight turn at full lock in a cul de sac, and dumped all fluid with in 50m, i had a heavy trailer for work that i had to back around and then drive 60ks home in the rain-it was a good work out, put a minor seal kit through it[which includes the circlip] when i got home and has been good so far for 10,000 ks, was a bit worried that the pump would **** as it ran dry but all is good so far

    Pump up your front tyres to 40 PSI for the trip, that will help. I'm fairly sure it is a Range Rover pump with a different pulley, so maybe a wrecker has one available & just swap the pump. JC on this forum is highly recommended by Taswegians, but he is the other end of the island.
