Totally agree, however I hunted for ages thinking my sensors wiring was at fault but all went away after the soldering bit. I think the bad connections were giving erroneous signals and therefore cocking up the zen of my EAS ;)

I am assuming you have made sure the connector is clean, even if it looks good it can still be the main issue with many a fault. The best thing is to cut and solder/heat shrink each wire, this will ensure there is no connection issue. I had all kinds of issues years back until I did mine, at the...

Just an update, after doing all sorts I have now tried the Lucas power steering leak/squeal stop additive. I took all of the regular fluid out and poured the bottle of additive (well, pour is a bad description, the stuff is like molasses in a snowstorm) The noise has diminished considerably, the...

I'm the one groaning at roundabouts usually, it always seems to be at slow speeds,(car parks, left turns etc) having said that, I guess I wouldn't be turning the wheel so far at 60mph :)

The steering box seems ok when turning the wheel, the sound is actually more like a groaning noise, sometimes very pronounced and sometimes very quiet. Yesterday when I took it out it was dead quiet until I got back home, seems to be one of those things! I have googled it and it appears that...

That is true

I guess it must be the pump, the belts and pulleys/bearings are all in good shape. I am going to give it another flush out and put in some of the Lucas additive and see if that does anything. Probably will end up living with it I guess

Just tried that, no noises when not running, I was hoping that I might actually find the issue!

All centred nicely, recently had the tracking done after fitting new track rods, drag link and steering damper. As mentioned this has been there for the past 10 years or more, never gets worse or any better come to that!!

I will try that next. TBH I only usually have one side up at a time, I do have 2 stands though so I will give it a go. It isn't causing any steering issues as it is, it is just one of those annoying niggles and doesn't appear noticeable from the outside because no one ever seems to look

Stops, only does it when turning, just like a dry bushing, however, that would mean it would do it both left and right

All present and correct sir. The noise starts pretty much as soon as you start to turn the steering wheel to the left.

Deffo not the belts as they are fairly new and very quiet. Fluid was changed in March and I had additive added. The noise seems to sound quite low down the column although it is one of those noises that is rather hard to track. Its odd that it only occurs on left turns and not on right. As...

Hi Keith, it always sounds like the column, no squeal from the tires. It does it as soon as you start turning left, not so much driving but when negotiating a car park or parking etc. Also does it when stationary, as mentioned, it has been there for many years, as far as I can see/hear it is not...

For years I have had an issue with the steering but have lived with it. It steers fine but when using left lock when turning (at any speed) it makes an awful noise as if something in the steering column needs lubricating. I have oiled any oil-able areas but it still makes the infernal noise. Any...

Found the little buggers, a very cheap and easy solution Keith, I also had some very small zip ties which fitted in the groove a treat. The grommets I had had a tad bigger inner diameter so I just hacked a bit off and with the zip ties they're are as firm as anything. Now on to the the next...

Good call, hadn't thought of them, I have loads of them somewhere, cheers Keith

Just refurbishing my seats and cleaning/greasing the drive mechanisms. At either end of the drive screws there appears to be what looks like rubber bump washers. These have just gone hard and have disintegrated, couple of questions, do I really need them and are they just there to prevent the...

Roast Robin for supper then...........

Right, I am now extremely confused, I have just picked the car up from having the service done, this had nothing at all to do with the HEVAC just oils and brake checks etc. I jump in and drive away, no book fault on the HEVAC and the face vent is blowing cold air in my face. So I switched to...
