#4: Re: Driving without a drive belt Author: ExoVyper, Location: Waiting for the tugboats to push me into port (Whitehaven)Posted: Tue Jan 25, 2011 8:06 pm ---- the steering goes heavy cause there's no assistance to move the oil about so you've got to force it around yourself
though it is drivable but not easy lol
#5: Re: Driving without a drive belt Author: Matt, Posted: Tue Jan 25, 2011 8:10 pm ---- Its like going old skool, before we had power steering lol.

Pfft, my daily driver has no PAS with a 4:1 lock to lock ratio. And no girly ABS brakes or airbags.
#15: Re: Driving without a drive belt Author: Iain, Location: Aberdeen, ScotlandPosted: Wed Jan 26, 2011 11:13 am ---- Got towed 15 miles without the engine on. The steering wasn't the worst bit, the brakes without the servo are the worst by a mile.

Yeah, 4:1 is nearly twice as light
What's this ABS you speak of? I'm still on keep-fit windows..

But twice as many Popeye impressions whilst parking.
ABS = cadence braking for girls. Men like us use their calf muscles.
I do have power windows and mirrors because I'm posh.
#19: Re: Driving without a drive belt Author: PhillipM, Location: RotherhamPosted: Wed Jan 26, 2011 11:39 am ---- Pfft, far too heavy!
That's an extra 0.2s per lap to Tesco's and back
#20: Re: Driving without a drive belt Author: Spanerman, Location: Neath, South Wales.Posted: Wed Jan 26, 2011 11:46 am ---- car with failed PAS will be heavier to steer than a car with no PAS
Its because you have to force the oil around the rack
#21: Re: Driving without a drive belt Author: PhillipM, Location: RotherhamPosted: Wed Jan 26, 2011 2:08 pm ---- Mine has the ram attached in case I ever feel like fitting e-PAS...
#22: Re: Driving without a drive belt Author: deebee, Location: BirminghamPosted: Mon Sep 26, 2011 6:22 am ---- just came back to this, and noticed all of you saying it wasnt heavy! im a big built lad, and i couldnt drive it for more than i did 1 MILE LMAO not cuz it hurt but cuz the annoying fact you have to put so much effort to turn, and ahahah about someone said he didnt have power steering LOL
