Can anyone tell me if it's safe to drive with no power steering fluid, as i don't want to cause damage to steering rack.

Currently stuck in Houghton Conquest Beds and need to get back to Watford.

Cheers Russ

Especially when the PAS pump, water pump and oil pump are all driven by the same shaft, you really don't want to seize the PAS pump as it could interfere with the other pumps. Best not to risk it..........

Look on the bright side, you'll get to find out how to solve the problems of the world off the driver of the recovery truck as he brings you and your car home.
