Mini Roadster Power Steering Problem

Sounds familiar! I had something similar with my Mini Roadster. Steering felt really weird, like driving through treacle. Have you checked the hydraulic fluid level? Also, any chance you've whacked a curb recently? Could be a slightly bent steering rack or a pressure hose issue. It's worth having a look at the steering pump too. I know someone who had a bad wheel alignment that caused similar symptoms, but it's less likely if it happened suddenly. Just throwing ideas out there!

Hydraulic fluid is okay. No curb incidents. You mentioned a similar issue - what was the eventual cause and fix?

Ah, right. For me, the symptoms were almost identical. Turned out to be a dodgy connection to the steering pump. I'd suggest getting it checked out by a workshop, especially as there is an error code stored. Could save you a lot of hassle in the long run!

Confirmed cause was a defective plug connection. Sorted for 95€. Thanks for the pointer.
