I guess I would get used to it if the Servo went permanently. The saab is the first car I've owned with power anything other than the brake servo. I tried to turn the wheel with the engine off. I know there is a lot of weight upthere, but I can't believe I've become such a wimp in the last year, the Skoda Favorit (front engined) and the Skoda 120L I had previously both had none power steering, and I managed to drive them, even at manouvering speeds with small sports steering wheels fine, but I can barley move it in the Saab. -- Carl Robson (The poster formerly known as Skodapilot) http://www.bouncing-czechs.com
