Check your fluids ladies and gentlemen!

All innuindoes aside...

Driving home from auckland today, and the stearing in my GA-70 started getting real heavy, and then twtiching, at first i thought i had blown a tyre and was going to let out a mighty yell. But anyway, pulled over, and couldn't find anything wrong, so u know, wasn't sure what the hell the deal was. Kept going got to a petrol station, checked pressures etc. and clicked onto the fact that my power stearing fluid might be low, baught some automatic trans fluid and dumped that in there and shes working again sweet, but now the system has air bubbles in it (slight twitching), hopefully they'll bleed out over night.

So basically, the moral of the story is, don't just check your oil levels, check Power stearing, brake fluid, Trans (if ur an auto) and water.

From,
Someone who never considered their P/S running out of fluid :)

P.S. it is auto fluid you use isn't it? couldn't remember if it was manual or automatic fluid. Oh, and the systems probably leaking somewhere, So its going to be line tracking day for me tommorow, YAY!.
