Spent the day at Center Parcs today.
Very little snow, but a very slow and careful drive back.
Steering has become very vague at speeds over 50, not to bad when accelerating, but scary on overrun. Its always had a bit of play but seems to have got a lot worse all of a sudden.
Pulled over and no leaks were apparent and the level was normal.

Have you checked all the ball joints, tightened up the box? and checked the trailing arm bushes and panhard rod bushes?

Thanks for the list Mikey. I havent checked any of them yet and TBH I lack the facilities, tools and skills to do much more than fluid changes.
+ not having the company car anymore means I need to keep on the road.
I might have a chat with Tim @ Mansfield on Monday see what I'm looking at.
Unfortunately not. Had the same along several different roads.

When mine did that last year on the way back from Wales - it was a tooth that broke in the power steering box. Caused very vague steering.

Dunno what all the fuss it about. Steering was vague on Tiny for 2 years and never caused a problem. In fact stuff only used to go wrong after I repaired one thing lol.
Plenty here in Horkesley now. And Colchester Council have maintained their excellent record of not gritting the roads when they need gritting, so chaos will reign in the morning, no doubt.

What's the betting the snow will really #### up getting to my job interview tomorrow. Fingers crossed the Astra gets me to Earls Colne in one piece and on time.
