Steering is a bit lumpy for the first couple of minutes from cold,then its fine.I suspect the belt is slipping a bit on fast idle on start up.(fluid changed a while back)

Had a quick look this morning ,looks a bit tight for space(getting at the 2 bolts etc),any tips on changing the belt please. (i will do both as the alternator belts needs to come off anyway)....Thanks

Thanks Ken....i was thinking the process was something like that,i'll give it a go soon.....the p/s belt feels very soft and spongy,i think its been there a long time.

Luckily i replaced all the bottom cover bolts with stainless steel bolts and washers (and grease)....and drilled out and re tapped the broken ones.

It cost me approx ÂŁ3 to replace the under cover tray bolts with stainless steel allen head M6 X 25mm bolts and washers along with a good covering of grease on each....its a nice tidy looking job,the covers were mostly held on with cable ties before i got it.
