    power steering help please

    hey, when i turn lock to lock when parked the steering sorta stops half way and it feels like it isnt going to move but then gave it some slack and it turned....

    after a bit of driving it then does it again..

    i can hear somethin squealing like a pump or something,there is plenty of fluid..any ideas >?

    if its the pump any suggestions where to source one

    Water on the belt I suspect.
    Could make it slip.
    Common problem on Mk2s.

    If its slipping wouldnt the width of the belt also affect it ? Maybe its old and needs tightening ?
