Re: Steering wheel probs

i know on some fords you had to have key in the ignition and key turned to first click to remove steering wheels, as steering lock would hold it on just a thought ive never removed a steering wheel from an mr2 so cant really comment but just a thought. :thumleft: :thumleft: :thumleft:

Re: power steering confusion? please help me

common problem the relay can sometimes be fixed by flicking ignition on and off, happened to me twice in 3 years, could try relay fist as a cheap go, other than that might be a faulty pump. :thumleft: :thumleft: :thumleft:
