Annoying squeal/power steering

[swansea v6]

My Eunos has just developed two annoying problems and I do not know if they are related. First off, when I get in the car and go to drive off I do not have any power steering, car is very heavy to steer for the first few seconds,then it is fine? Problem does not re appear until I park up and turn off the engine??

Also, when I am driving with the headlights up I get a horrible screeching noise from under the bonnet. It is only there between 2000-2500 rpm and then disappears. I have looked for any loose belts, all fine and the power steering fluid is fine???

Sounds like a slipping belt to me. Putting the lights on increases the load on the alternator.
Maybe if the belts are tight enough it needs new belts...

MX5 parts are also good but a bit more expensive
