The trouble with this is ive not got a reciept for everything that i have brought for my car.
I will add up all the reciepts that i do have and i know it will be about twice what i paid for the car!!!
Last count i think it was over £7,000 including the car purchase.
But she is worth it.:D...

Sorry im late Paul,
This exact same thing happened to me, you can tell by the questions i was asking you in the previous thread.
Its the little union just above the alternator on the pressure side of the system that has gone, there is no good news im afraid, apart from it being a right b*tch...
To bleed the system you turn the steering from side to side with the engine off until no more bubbles can be seen rising from the fluid,
Then do the same but with the engine running.
If the fluid level rises when you turn the engine off then it means that there is still air in the system...
Ok, its not from the pressure side then!
Check your tyre pressures are right, have you fitted wider tyres? And try bleeding the system to see if there is any trapped air.
Just noticed, youve got 17s. That will put extra prssure onto the power steering.
Mat.
Paul,
They are prone to leaking from the pressure side of the system, can you see the fluid anywhere else in the engine bay or is it just dripping on the floor?
