Default new jagg owner

okay so about 6 months ago i had bought a 2003 chevy 1500 it was nice and i drove it for a while but wanted to pull the engine just to go through and clean so i only put insurance on it for a month then when the insurance was up i did the rebuild two days after the engines back in the truck was stolen while i didnt have insurance it was used in a robbery and then crashed too much dammage to pay to fix so i had to trade my project truck a 1999 ford f-250 xlt with a blown head gasket and helin coil and also a bit of body damage for an 88 xj6 so far ive changed the alternator and starter and it runs great i changed the speakers to 4inch jvc speakers 160watts each and put an amp and 10inch sub in it but my first problem arose yester day the steering wheel suddenly became very tight and started making noises it stopped after a few minitues but it seems like there is no more power steering wondering if anybody can help me out with what that may be and if anyone knows where the radio fuse is

thanks

Welcome to the forum Nathan,

Sorry to hear about your problems, but you have the Jag now so it's not all bad.

Head over to the XJ6 section for better tech advice, I suppose you have checked the PS pump belt?

Welcome to the forum. You haven't got a front flat tyre by any chance?

As said, check belt and PS fluid level.
