Just had head gasket replaced and a new fault has developed. When using power steering at tickover speed the revs drop and engine dies. Car drives fine with a/c, lights etc on but even when parked if pulling wheel from side to side the revs surge between 500 and 1000 if I keep wheel on full lock...

Hi, came across your site while surfing for a price for regassing my Freelander. It's a 51 plate 1.8 petrol and I've owned it about 3 years. I do not know if the a/c has been serviced during annual services but anyway it has given up the ghost totally. Much as I may need it during this spell of...
