If you`ve got the SAI system active and it`s just on cold start only, pull the SAI fuse

Sorry but how does the ABS ECU failure cause the power steering to fail

Power steering on the Omega is electronically variable, and is adjusted with speed.... called "Servotronic" I believe. The speed signal comes via the ABS ECU, so failure of the ABS ECU results in the power steering defaulting to a very base setting .... this is very noticeable as the ECU fails because it is intermittent .. so the power steering assistance is also intermittent .. which I found very disconcerting !! Once the ABS ECU was removed then the system was stable but with very little assistance ... ie .. very heavy

Thanks for that .. so 2/3rds of an engine gets 1/3rd of the toys .. :)  Serve 'em right for not buying a "proper" engined car .. :)
