I should add, I asume its lacking assistance when idling but fine when on the move.....if its still bad when moving then check the fuse.

Ok, open the fuse box under the steering wheel, check fuse 14 which is middle row, 6th in from the left.

Fuse for power steering? On a car with a mechanical pump? How does that work then!?

It's a varible assistance set-up that gives more asistance at parking speeds & little/no assistance at speed. The Senator & Carlton before the Omega had a similar system  :y
