Hi all
I have a 1.1 getz which had done a shy over 20000, which is good for a 56 plate. Only had it around 3 months, full hyundai service history and mot. Anyway about 2 weeks a noticed a rattle when the car started, when cold it was quite loud then would die down to just a purr. The car was driving fine until last night, I went to turn the car around and it's as if something suddenly started to block the steering. It was grating and felt like it was catching on something. Also it also felt like it had lost a bit of power. The rattle was now quite loud. I got towed by the AA and he said it's probably the power steering pump, but he said the pump looks fairly new, so now I'm not so sure.
Anyone have any ideas, I'd appreciate the help
