I would really appreciate it if anyone has any ideas about this problem with my newly-acquired 93 MkIV N/A:
Driving around, everything fine, then suddenly the power steering will switch off, the speedo will drop to 20mph (actual speed unaffected) and, bizarrely, the odometer will clock up kilometeres at the rate of one every 15-20 seconds even when the car is pulled over. Generally if I switch it off and leave it for a few hours it will return to normal. It may all happen again after driving for a bit but often doesn't.
My mechanic reckons £200 for an investigation and repair (he says it's likely just a faulty switch or relay) but I can think of many, many things I'd rather spend my £200 on.
Anyone had anything similar or can tell me where to start?
Cheers,
