Power Steering (I'm assuming anyway...)

Whenever the steering wheel is on full lock I get a right racket coming from the engine bay. Is it the PS Pump and is it normal?

(Clio 16v)

yes it will make a noise. and right racket needs explainign better.

go look to see if the belts jumping about when on full lock, you'll need your dad in the car turning the wheel

Dunno if it's a real word but it should be Smile

it's fine, contraction of "might" and "not" = "mightn't"

Doesn't sound particularly elegant though Razz

There are a lot of words T9 doesn't like as standard, doesn't mean they're not valid words!

T9 used to think I was trying to call people 'aunt' all the time Rolling Eyes
