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 (y)

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.
