My power steering belt has just snapped so I just had to leave it parked up.
Can I still drive it to the garage? will it make anything worse by driving it? steering is really heavy but its not to far.

It will drive BUT not far as the alternator wont be charging either!
Dont have any electrics on like lights, radio, heaters etc as these will all drain the battery.

itl drive a fair way if the battery is fully charged. I once drove mine about 170mile when the power steering belt snapped, i hooked up a battery tester so I could see the useage in real time, and took a spare battery with me just in case!
regards Mark

I would never drive a 206 with PS if it's not working for any proper distance.
