A neighbour of my fiancee has an N reg (not sure if 95 or 96) 5 door 1.4 LS corsa b... he thinks there may be a problem with the power steering ie. steering is way too heavy... any ideas? Im assuming it does have p/s.
Cheers

i have this problem i think but isnt the power steering belt also the connected to the alternator etc so if it came off the battery light would be on?
might top the power steering fluid up see if that helps
its a 1.4 16v btw and had a drive of me mates 97 vectra and the steerings is so much lighter and the vectra is huge
