Sudden power steering failure

[truck71]

Not as dramatic as it sounds- following a terrific 200 mile drive today parked the tuscan outside, turned it off. Moved other car to make room for the tiv. Restarted tiv, no power steering. Last 10 miles of journey were through London with no telltale signs- thrown a belt perhaps? I'm not familiar with the set up, any ideas? Thanks Andrew

A Mk2 Tuscan has electro-hydraulic PAS not fed from the engine...My PAS relay (the grey one next to the oil coiler,in the engine bay) failed multiple times. After replacing the 45amp one three times eventually fitted a 70 amp one.

Thanks glow worm, I'm a novice with TVR's I assume this means unbolting the bonnet?

I'm afraid so...or get a hinged bonnet or get the PAS relay moved to the passenger footwell.

This what they look like inside and a 70amp one.

Cheers, it's due at Str8six in a couple of weeks anyway for a service, Jason is collecting it on Weds and can do it whilst it's there. Good steer (no pun intended)regarding relocating it to the footwell. Thanks for the advice.
