Tyre pressures will have an influence on the steering effort, but you've got to be very low to have a big impact.

Inflated the tyres to 36 psi all round on Saturday which seemed to help free up the steering a bit more.

People have previously reported Servotronic valves sticking & it's easy to imagine eg small debris particles causing is to stick & hold while either opening or closing to add or remove the additional assistance the valve provides.

Well, fixing one problem has led to another.

Seems I shouldn't have joked about the fix lasting more than 1 day..

I didn't have a pressure test done no as I decided it was likely to be a similar cost to just grabbing a pump and replacing it.

I would have expected the second hand pump to be Ok if the stated milage was correct & you've said it was performing OK for at least 1 day - so it's hard to imagine the pump could have deteriorated that fast.

I think that could be worth a try Pawl, I might see if I can bodge something together tomorrow with spade connectors just for a quick test.

You might find it challenging with spade connectors - the pins are really small & easily damaged (maybe 2mm wide).

Hmm, sounds like spade connectors are unlikely to work then. I will source a connector to try this out.
