was lucky enough to pick up a nice hz 5L wagon recently. everything was going along perfectly as they do - but noticed something odd about powersteering. when driving it works fine. when the car is running and in park it also works fine. but as soon as i put my foot on the brake pedal it is almost impossible to turn the steeringwheel? its as if there is no powersteering asistance. never noticed this before. or is it just me. any ideas would be muchly appreciated.
cheers geoff
