Hi guys, I can't help noticing that my steering feels a little heavy, despite having PAS fitted. I don't recall this being the case when I had one of these when they were new any suggestions on what this could be?

The turning circle isn't exactly small, either.

Many thanks.

Any strange noises when on full lock?

Hahah. Diable.

No, no weird noises during full lock, but when turning there is a rubbing noise. I can't work out if this is from the steering wheel cover.
