partner power steering problem

[casanaranja]

i have a problem with power steering on my 2002 partner quicksilver 1.9d.
On starting in the morning, power steering does not work.
after turning wheel a couple of times it starts working.
i have replaced the fluid yesterday but still the same today.
i guess pump?? or rack problem ?? Any clues to which it might be????

If it's electric, get the battery and alternator checked. Starting from cold will draw quite a bit from the battery and if it's not up to scratch the steering will dick around til the battery has enough charge in it
