Just recently when I have just started up my power steering seems heavy and sluggish, seems fine after a couple of minutes. Cant see any leaks, any ideas?

Power steering - ditch it and drive like a man!

No only joking i wish i'd got it for the car parks.

It may have something to do with the cold temps, i used to have similar problems with a Shogun when it was very cold, After a few minutes and a couple of cycles ie moving off the drive turning a few corners it went back to normal. The fuild was also a little low and was changed during the next service but i can't say if that helped because the temperature was also warmer.

I had a similar problem and my local trusted garage man flushed the system out...It was fine after that. MIKE B
