Urgent help needed UPDATED
« on: July 02, 2011, 09:12:35 am »
Well ive fit my new arb bushes and suspension top mounts and the knocking noise has gone. Put it all back together and the steering red light is on, it beeps three times when i turn the ignition on and i have no power steering at all.
Anyone have any ideas before i try and drive it to get it scanned somewhere?

^^^

The  steering reset will work if the steering light is yellow, but OP said the steering light is red.

Gutting, so that's a replacement rack then? Is there something to cause it going just from changing suspension over? I had most things changed on my r32 and never had this prob..?
