Excellent news.Collected my Grenadier and drove 71 miles back to work mostly motorway at 70mph at 18.6mpg
Gateway control unit changed and steering fine so far so hopefully that’s solved the problems. Thanks to Harwoods for getting the part fitted as soon as it arrived.
Interestingly the technician was talking to me about the steering dampers and here’s what I took from the chat:- the steering damper is really strong and would make the steering even heavier if power steering not working. And a good tip was if you ever get a power steering failure for what ever reason such as a split pipe when remote from help then disconnecting the steering damper would free up the steering enough to make the vehicle drivable although steering would be very light at speed so extra caution should be taken.
Good advice given by your tech, will try to remember that!
