Afternoon good people i think ive got a new problem, when driving to work thismorning i drove through a large puddle and the steering went tight like i'd lost power steering came good again a few seconds later did it again driving home only going through water, never used to happen ive recently changed my steering damper for a terriferma one it came with a crappy looking plastic protector that looks like it could fill with water and restrict steering is this possible, its a 95 disco if this helps

They should keep tension on a 300, get a better damper, also check the belt to see if its gone shinny, that wont help either...
