Does anyone know the symptoms of thePS pump going? When sitting still if I turn the steering wheel a whine/squeal is emitted....
The steering not self-centring is a sign the hubs could be shot, also If the steering is excessively heavy. The sound your describing sounds the same as mine, and it's done it from day one.
Ah ok yeah my steering just pulls left slightly so might have a look! I suppose it's me being cautious my boss has a 56 smax and his PS went costing him £600 yummy!
Yeah there will be a whine from electrical motors but a whine means it's probably current limiting which in theory isn't good. I will get my top knotch mechanic on it after I get the paintwork touched up and let you know what he finds! And Kieran if you find out do share does sound like a large problem and I think as a community we can sort it!
