Actually "locked" steering will mean you cannot turn the wheel at all, no matter how hard you try.

We have all heard the story about towing a car. The person in the second car sits there to steer and brake, but on the first corner they realise the brakes have no assistance and the steering locks because no key.

Crash....

After a bit of detailed questioning, she says the car displays a warning about power steering, then the car becomes almost impossible to steer. It's been "fixed" twice by Holden bu has done it again

It needs a new rack. Take it to the dealer and leave it there until it's done. Life is too precious.

^ They asked in this thread first, they only saw that the other thread existed after you bumped it with that John Cardigan video yesterday ... I guess they thought they'd be more likely to get an answer if asked in two places.

Why did you feel the need to create a new thread when there is already one about this issue.

I was a confused about that too. It means there are two threads and BOTH are incorrectly titled. should be LOSS OF POWER ASSISTED STEERING, rather than sensationalising it with Steering Locked Up randomly.

This is definitely a story for Tracey Grimshaw on a Current Affair, give her a call or just say "Tracey Grimshaw" out loud 3 times. :confused::confused::confused:

RJ, is it time for this?
