Quote from: "heathstimpson"Who is it that has all the data on here with drawings etc  s:?: :?: s:?:

Well, I have the BGB...but IIRC, it pretty much just shows the connections to PS-ECU and doesn't tell what it actually does  s:? :? s:?  Don't have it at work, but I can take a closer look tonight...

Liz, if you start the car, but don't start driving, does it stay on? Or does it die the moment you first steer? I think it did have some pressure sensor(s), which could cause a healthy pump to do just that.
(or maybe the pump is gone, we're only guessing here)
Sure you can live without 500hp, but it\'s languishing.

Tem,

The power steering light stays on when it is started and the P/S is there as soon as you touch the steering wheel, but after about 20 seconds it dies away. When it is driven the light stays on and there is no power.

Liz, it could stil be the P/S pump, if the control system is shutting it down because the current loading is becoming too high then it will still appear to run and then stop, so i'm afraid you cant isolate this yet, sorry. What we need is a good set of manuals for these troublesome cars of ours  s:? :? s:?

I have booked the car into Mr T tomorrow at 11.00 so they can diagnose what is wrong with it, actually spoke to someone helpful on the service reception, and they are going to look at it whilst I wait. They also piped up that they could order the part for me there and then,I told him to hold his horses on that one!!  Thanks for your help on this as always, will let you know what happens, if I get there in one bit!!

Got back from a nice journey with the roof down and now have aching arms!!  It was the pump according to the diagnostic thing at Mr T, we went for a little drive in it as well, not sure why, guess they wanted to make sure that I was telling the truth...Have been to Grays and picked up the 2nd hand one a bargain at £150 as opposed to the £757.00 + VAT which Mr T wanted for a new one. Being fitted on the 1st unless I can find someone to do it in the meantime, looks easy enough, 3 bolts and 3 clip in electronic parts, I dare say it needs bleeding through though.

I was talking the mechanic on the test drive and he said that in the past two weeks they have had two in with precat failure and blown engines and they were towing away an SMT which had gone completely up the wall, whenever the owner took their foot off the brake it was shooting off down the road.

I guess it is a bit too late to let you know about this one, right?

Woo Hoo!!  All fixed for the princely sum of £200.  A bargain compared to  £930.60 (with discount) from my local dealer!!!

Simon has got it at the moment and I have just spoken to him and he is threatening not to let me have it back  s:evil: :evil: s:evil:  .  Thanks for the help on this guys, just looking out of the window waiting for it to arrive home so I can take it out, will try not to steer it like I have been and crash it!

Nah, that's the arm muscles you built up when the pump was out.

Did you pay 50 quid to get your pump fitted?
At that price it's probably worth paying to get it done rather than trying to do it myself. Has anyone changed there own, are there any write ups?
