The Power steering on my 1995 3.0 Surf has a problem, when I first start from cold it does not work, after a few minutes of use it's OK. It's scary when you pull out onto the road and can't straighten up! I have checked and filled the fluid. I am not sure whether it will be the pump or the steering box can anyone help please, Regards Ross

Does it make any whirring noises, like when low on fluid or airlocked? Not had this problem before, maybe the vanes in the pump are worn/sticking, or something else is tight on the steering.4x4toys.co.uk - Keeping you on and off the road...

As others have suggested ya may have an airlock n may need to Prime the PSP (after topping up turn PSP.
Did it run dry before topping it up ?.... try this .....
Start engine n move steering from lock to lock about six to twelve times each ...
Good Luck .....
