Hi Sylvain,

I'm not sure I understood all the details in your post, but your symptoms typically mean the power steering fluid is low due to a leak. The most common point for a leak is at the low pressure hose from the fluid reservoir to the pump:

If your fluid level is proper, then I would suspect the power steering pump. I don't know if rebuild kits are still available, but years ago I recall that several members of the Jag-Lovers forum rebuilt their pumps.

Cheers,

Don

 

Hi Sylvain- Did you get this fixed?

 

Hello everyone, thank you for your interest in my problem, I ordered a used pump and seal set for remake the interior sealing.

 

Good deal. A nice clean one. Hope that does it for you.
