When the engine is started the power steering seems to loose power when I start moving it gets hard to turn the steering wheel what could be at fault

Have you bled it?

Ill explain. Start then engine and turn the wheel full lock left then full lock right then left then right and so on, do it about 5 times then check the fluid level and top up if needed. Do the same again and check the level again.
Job done.

Any preference,Brian?

Does Practical Classics work better than Men Only?

Shinier the better. Most of the 'Men Only' I've come across have tended to be a bit sticky!
