My power steering always makes a whining noise when u turn the steering! Have had the car 6 months now and have to admit it has always made this noise.... Is it just me or is it normal?
Also, am definately having my clutch done by Palmer Bros in South east London after my conversation with Modern Mini Magazine.
A few weeks ago i took it to a Nationwide clutch place and they said that the noise i was experiencing was just a thrust bearing being dry and the clutch seemed ok...... Have let 4 people drive my car and they have said the same thing that my clutch is really hard and i must be knackered after a 30min drive.
Spoke with Kevin Palmer of Palmer brothers who have built race minis and also a shortened mini for a show and he said it is definately the clutch coming to the end of its life as it should not be that hard and that most clutch places are not that good at tdoing the clutch as they never seem to put the special oil into the gearbox and use engine oil and also do not replace the air con canister which should also be done.
