91 1.6 Power steering - JackC1
Hi folks,

The power steering has just packed up on my '91 MX-5 1.6 (UK car).

There was a bit of a whining noise coming from beneath the bonnet intermittently for around a week beforehand but that seems to have stopped now.

I haven't had a chance to have a proper look at it yet ? I'm assuming that either the pump has had it or there's a leak/lack of fluid (haven't noticed any damp spots on the drive).

It's not the end of the world ? but if anyone has experienced this before or knows of an obvious fix then I'd be keen to hear.

Many thanks.

Jack
