Hi,

I was wondering if you guys has any idease (i'm useless when it comes to cars), however i was driving home from work yeturday and on the motorway my powersteering suddenly became really light!!

And after a little look e.t.c. it looks like there is some 'give' in the steering wheel, i.e. i can turn it for roughly an inch and nothing happens, this where it is seemingly light!!! Once i feel the steering kickin its fine, but it is just a little disconcerting, i'm wondering if anyone here has any advice on the subject!

Thanks

i assume that your escort has an ecu connected power steering pressure switch? i would get this checked out straightaway if i was you, if only swapping it for one from a breakers and trying it if monies tight.
