Heavy steering but no noise



  Ph1
I was doing some work on the car the other week and it required us to move the car about in a yard with the ignition off a good few times and on pretty tight lock.

After this the steering now is very heavy feeling and goes a tad light when on lock but only noticeable in motion.

My mate has a ph 1 172 like mine and there's a massive difference in steering feel in comparison.

We check the fluid levels and there spot on and there's no noise what so ever from the power steering pump as what normally tends to happen where their on their way out.

Has anyone any ideas what it could be??

Im pretty sure it has a connection with us moving the car about with the ignition off as it was fine before hand. I wasnt aware that that should cause damage?

cheers

No not the tyre pressures. I checked them and their fine.

Apart from the obvious heavy steering, how can you test if your power steering pump is not working ??

there's no ''power steering'' noise on mine at full lock or anything
