Another talkabout moron, hint, put - "Usenet" alt.autos.citroen - into your favourite search engine and then come back when you learn how to post to Usenet correctly...

A little harsh perhaps Jerry?

I'd guess - and it's a wild guess - that the drive is slipping as it warms up. If the steering pump is driven by belt that's likely but I don't know this engine so it's just a guess. TonyB

No, not were talkabout.coN or those who use it are concerned...

TonyB ( snipped-for-privacy@tesco.net) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :

It's an electric pump on these.

hi,the engine size is 1587cc but not sure if electonic or belt driven (the power steering that is).Fluid level appears ok.I assume if its electronic theres a fuse? but i know nothing about cars so at the mercy of the all powerful garage mechanic!
