hi
Is there any way of reducing the sqeal from the power steering when parking my car? It really loud and everyone knows when im leaving or returning home. Not good.

I have the same when at full lock. I've been told that it sounds like the pump is on it's way out.

Yeah, they all do that, a mate says it's a safety measure to protect the rack from over pressure, however mine got loader and loader and then I started losing fluid. Upon inspection the tack was leaking at both ends.
New (reconditioned) rack from europarts £261 although I get £96 back when I return the old rack. Beware it's not really a DIY job, and the service book says 10 hours !
We will be doing mine next weekend, will let you know how long it actually takes.
