Hi my 1.8 Freelander xei has started making an annoying vibration/squeel whenever i turn a corner at slow speeds, it sounds like its comming from the left hand sinde and it only happens when i turn the wheel at slow speeds. Has anyone got any ideas what this could be?

squeal is normally related to the brakes, a vibration or clicking noise would be from one of the drivshafts

Hi thanks for the link my problem doesnt seem to be similar to the problems described in the link.
I noticed today when i inspected the car closer that it was leaking some sort of oil, i suppose this could be power steering oil?
Ive lost most power steering as well and the car is hard to turn around corners with.
Just to add last nite i took the car off road and got a bit carried away and started doing donoughts in the field and drifts etc.
Do you know what could be the problem?

power steering oil is usually red - wot colour is the leaked oil. It could be ya PAS pump or the belt - coz when ya turning, the pump is supplying pressure to the PAS rack. Not one to leave fur long.

That'll be your problem then, driving like a madman.
feels good to get the FL muddy and lets you know the limits of the FL on slide control. A worthwhile excercise even if it did put alot of strain on your PAS system.
Where is the leak coming from? Is it a loose hose clamp or somewhere more serious?
yea i agree, it does feel good to get the thing muddy. This is the annoying thing i can't find out where the leak is comming from. How do people find oil leaks? i filled the thing up with some steering fluid today and the car was perfect for about 10 minutes before it all leaked out. Suggesting to me that it is just a simple leak but i cant find where it is! grrrr....
