We had our power steering go very heavy on our grand voyager 1999 2.5D and were told that this was due to the pump. However our car also failed its MOT on the O/S track rod end, after buying in all the parts my husband fitted the track rod end first and hey presto we now have power steering and it was nothing to do with the pump!! So before spending god knows what on a pump, check your track rod ends first as these are only £30 to replace each instead of nearly £200 for the pump!

Hi my name is Tom and I am here to help..

You are victim to the old one two. Fix one thing and another comes up. Your power steering pump is definitely bad and needs replacing. If you like I can walk you through it.

As far as not passing emissions, I would need more information as to what area you failed. I generally recommend a complete tune up and if you fairly we have to look at your catalytic converter or a engine ring problem. Give me as much information and I will help you.
