Catch22

No doubt another no-brainer, but here goes. My steering groans when used at low engine rpm. People tell me that the steering box needs replaced (££££££), but I suspect the system needs bled. Looking at the manual Ch.57 p.10 it advises bleeding via a bleed screw, but where is the bleed screw? The manual is usually very comprehensive, so maybe I am reading it upside down......

Try dropping the ATF out of the steering pump reservoir and replacing the fluid. Might take a few attempts to get it flushed through. If it makes a difference, happy days. If it doesn't, well, your wallet will be raped.

I agree, well worth a fluid change, made a difference on my project car.
