Hi All,
Just bought a V6 2001, very pleased with the performance and economy. just one question I find the power steering a little hard is this normal?

Hi Zak and welcome to the asylum :thumbsup:

First point of call is to check the fluid level and the condition of the fluid. It may be nothing - have you driven Fords before? A lot of manufacturers tend to 'over-assist' their steering making them too light and lacking feel. Fords tend to be heavier with a lot more feel to the steering.

Unless you are losing fluid or you have any odd noises/notchy steering (some hissing/whining from the power steering pump is normal on full lock) I wouldn't worry about it - it's probably normal :)
 
There is a get together on the 8th in Huntingdon where a couple of cougars are being fixed up even if you are not very mechanical it's a great group of lads who can have a laugh and you can keep your hands clean and learn a bit about the cougar at the same time.
