No
The PS only goes from reservior to pump to box and back
The ACE only goes to the rams back and front via the pump and block on the chassis rail

so theres no way it cud have anything to do wth the head

my mechaniks full of ****

Heres the Power steering layout -

and heres the ACE

The engine is used to power the belt that runs the pumps for both systems but thats it.

Is your mechanic a Land Rover mechanic?

thanks bigeeeeeeeeeeeeeee he recons hes a 4x4 specialist? i think not
been quoted £200 + parts for head gasket that usual sounds unrealistcly chea
p to me

no vat

Still doesn't explain the creamy PAS fluid, unless he's getting confused when the ACE/PAS is pumping perhaps

cant explain the milky fluid perhaps water got in it its been like that since i bought it

When you say creamy do you mean in colour or texture? When ps fluid has got air in it it goes light pink and frothy textured. Check it without the engine running after it's been stood a while
