Hi again
176k now on my little Blingo and the steering feels a tad stiff/weird when its first started up for a few miles then it's much better,had it to my mechanic and he shoved it on the MOT ramp,shook it to bits,spun this,turned that,nothing suspension related at all,no rack leaks but he did reckon the steering fluid ponged burnt ?? I'm away for a break friday so will be leaving it in his hands to do as seen fit (within reason obviously)
He suggested changing the oil ?? no history of it been changed up to me getting her at 38k and I've not done it,I was thinking the pump ? and if it's a pump consensus is there anything else to change while he's in there,auxiliary pulley's etc,the vans got a living to earn and I'd rather get the lot changed while I'm off the road than have some of the work to pay for a few miles down the line.
thanks for your time. Ian.
