Any suggestions for the following problem on a BX diesel? When started from cold the car builds pressure and rises, as it should. If it is driven quickly whilst cold the hydraulic warning light comes on. It extinguishes immediately on allowing the engine speed to drop e.g. by pressing in the clutch and releasing the accelerator or if you allow the car to slow down. Once the car has done 10 miles or more the problem is usually gone until all cools down again. It is not a fluid level problem. Filters are clean and power steering works OK.
Any Ideas? S.V.

Thats a real weird one.
I would be looking at either a weak pump, or maybe a sticky pressure regulator, if you are completely happy that the LHM is clean and that any air has been bled out by the valve on the pressure regulator.
