Yes, or knackered pump. Most likely the pump.

Check your tyre pressures!

Or replace them if the tread is low.

Haynes manual advised on bleeding. Need to turn from lock to lock a few times and have reservoir lid off to check for any bubbles. Then use a syringe to remove.

Additives like Wynns, Slick 50 and Forte have been recommended for stoping leaks, lubing and helping generally. Take lid of first and check levels and then go from there.

Think if you do a search others have posted what to do. I usd Wynns stuff as was all I could find at my local shop. Others have used Slick 50 and said it works. Have used many Forte products and they seem to work well.

Forte on ebay:

Just fitted 17s with 205/17/40s and steering much lighter !

Must be due to lower profile tyres, harder
