Firstly you should learn were the caps key is on your computer writing in capitals is considered rather rude,your problem is probably the electronic steering starting to pack in rather expensive quite a common problem.

Well what a warm welcome we have given Blue Ivy!

Yes it is rude to shout, but it doesn't warrant the reaction it has - I was taught that two wrongs don't make a right. Blue Ivy has come here for help, so why can't we provide it in a polite way. I doubt the OP meant to cause offensive.

The power steering motor is available for around £150 and it can't be more than an hour or two to fit.
