Quick update. 3000 miles trouble free.
However after a long trip, 500 miles, the steering pump has started leaking.
Luckily I was 2 miles from home so no trouble.
I have soon realised the pump was at least 30 years old
It looked fine and nobody thought to replace it including me.
It was at least 10 years nobody turn the engine on and seals were probably shagged. Been lucky it didn t give up before.
Best bit of the oldy there is one single belt driving the pump, it would have not stopped my trip. just made it heavy to park.
Pump replaced and the mech noticed it s the same as the reanult clio from the 90s. Very cheap and abundant on the market.
