Well, not my car. My sons old Fiat Punto.

Changed brake pads. Easy job. Then took power steering motor apart, resoldered all of the connections on the control board and repalced.

Dashboard light has now gone out, steering working again as intended!

This is a well known Fiat Punto problem and my hours work saved a big garage bill which my son could not afford........and I didnt want to cough up for!

At least it was a good day today weather wise.
