Right,
After a week with the car I'm bringing back memories of the 306s wonderful ability to adjust on throttle and it's love for oversteer. Perhaps more concerning is the apparent steering issue the HDi seems to have...
It's hard to describe and difficult to make it even occur, but basically when I drive 'ambitiously' or turn in with an armful of lock the steering kind of 'judders' in my hands. Nothing drastic, but you can hear a slight knocking not dissimilar to abs kicking in. Now there's also a chirping noise coming from the pump, so it is possible that it's on it's way out. I also looked at the fluid and it looks to be jet-black, like used engine oil! Shouldn't pas fluid be red?
I'm gonna have a crack at first changing the fluid, does anyone have a guide on how to do it?
I've also read that it could be suspension top mounts. What is the procedure for checking them also?
