Rhys (emoTR) is having problems with his car and so he asked me to post this up and see if we can get any ideas as he doesnt have the net at his new place yet

so basically his car has no power steering and the battery light keeps staying on, ihavent even had a look at his car yet but im thinking maybe PS pump?

check the fluids, and make sure the belt is on tightly :P.. the belt tends to shred if you get oil on it and eventually snap. on my TR 4cyl its on the opposite side of the motor from the trans

yeah apparently fluids is all good

hmm belt could be true, havent seen the car so ill check that, cheers!

just spoke to rhys dude.

To replace the belt, i'm pretty sure you have to rip the A/C belt ooff the crank to get that on, so check the condition of the A/C belt in case it needs changing (best to do it now bcoz it has to come off anyway.

To remove A/C Belt;
There's a tensioner high up on the firewall side of the engine (on the passenger side) It is placed where the top counter balance shaft is. There's a bolt on the side which needs to be loosened before the top one is undone. you'll see what I mean when you look at it. the belt'lll go llimp, take it off and fit the Accessories belt.

To Replace Accessories belt;
Alternator acts as a tensioner on this one. Loosen the tensioner bolt and give the alternator a little push if it's stuck. keep going until the belt fits on.

it's pretty simple man. shouldnt take more than 20minutes.

Yup, No Power Steer and batt light on = Broken belt
