#1: power steering wonders Author: brimbo, Location: South ShieldsPosted: Sat Mar 19, 2011 4:20 pm ---- When I do a full lock either way I hear a funny whirring noise, is this normal? also when I go into any gear above 2nd, there's another whirring noise ( alternator? ) are any of these bad signs ?
threes a charm, my wheel springy things 'clunk' a hell of a lot when I turn, is it renewal time or just worn?
the pug in question is a W-reg 2000, so its had a long life.

I got a new one for £100 and now the whirring is all gone

Then see if there's a slight leak anywhere.
Otherwise, what Mrs. Howey said.
