I own a 1995 2.8 TD 4M40T NJ Paj. Recently i went for a bit of a full on mud run with the old girl and during the run i found the steering got a little heavy assumed it was the mud and ruts but still pulled off onto tarmac to check the steering. it seemed the power steer had thrown a belt but being a gear driven model this wasnt possible.
Checked the power steer fluid and it was full a few days earlier and has never lost fluid in the past but checking it after the mud run it was on min and showed signs of it blowing out some fluid at the actual pump. Topped up the fluid to full.
When turning at idle speed its hard very hard but pick the revs up and you hear the pump whine like you have it on full lock but it works like normal.
Any Ideas??????
