Hello
At the outset I have to confess I'm a bit mechanically challenged, so any advice is appreciated. I have a 2014 Freelander 2 SD4. The steering became very heavy so I checked the fluid.
It was a bit low and I topped it up. It seemed better for a couple of weeks but then became even heavier, the fluid hadn't dropped. I got a garage to replace and flush the power steering resevoir but it's made no difference. From what I've read, the next step would be to change the steering rack and if that didn’t sort it the pump would next. Is this correct? If I do need to get the rack replaced can anyone suggest a reputable supplier? My only income is my state pension so I'm trying to avoid any costly mistakes.
Thank you
 
Proper diagnosis will avoid costly and unnecessary replacement parts.
Was the fluid reservoir replaced, as there's a filter on the pump outlet which can clog.
