Hi more problems again with xantia 2l 8v 1992.
I have a loud rattling sound,(sounds like bent cam) rattles even when standing still. It stops when I turn the steering wheel. Also every now and then I have no power steering when turning right. Does anyone have any idea what could be the cause this [:(]

Bit late in the picture here, but rattle can be caused by the pump sucking air in. This can be caused by low LHM level, and would also be in line with loss of power steering on early car with FDV. So, check LHM level, and then check security and condition of suction hose. However, early Xantia pumps are known to be weak, so expect the worst!
