The Fiat Punto’s steering system is not conventionally hydraulic, it utilises an Electric Power Steering (EPS) system which includes an Electric Steering Column. The column comes complete with an ECU coded to the vehicle and a motor.
Because the ECU’s are coded to the vehicle, it makes it harder for people to just swap and change them for a second hand unit unless the part numbers match up correctly.
The common faults with this system is that the EPS light, lights up on the dash and the steering goes heavy. There are a number of reasons why this happens but mainly because of the load on the electrical system. The primary reason for it’s failure is the “City Mode” feature. The City Mode function was designed purely for parking purposes only, however people that use this function more frequently risk overloading their electrical system and burning out the Fiat Punto’s electrical steering column, which could cost in excess of £600 new from Fiat’s main dealer.
We are able to remanufacture these units and due to popular demand, we now carry these units in stock ready to be dispatched/fitted same day. We also offer a full 12 months (1 Year) warranty with these units – The same warranty you get from buying a new unit from your local main dealer.
So before you go out and spend £600+ on a new unit, or attempt to purchase a second hand unit for a quick cheap fix.. give us a call first! Remember, there is no guarantee when buying a used part because you never know how the previous owner had driven the vehicle, with us you get the full warranty giving you peace of mind.

On the BMW Mini’s it’s a common fault that the electric power steering pumps fail causing complete loss of power steering. It sometimes starts as an intermittent loss of power and progresses gradually.
The reason behind it’s common failure is because the electric power steering pump stays on even when the vehicle is switched off. The unit drains battery power but also because it is continuously on, it eventually burns out the motor inside the pump as well as it’s controlling circuitry.
Unfortunately it is a common problem and many garages and dealers that you approach for help will just insist you purchase a new unit not realising we’re able to repair them.
Yes, we can remanufacture these units and fix the problems inside which caused it to stay on and burn out in the first place. Due to the high demand, we now keep these units in stock ready to be exchanged with your old unit.
Don’t forget, you get 1 Years warranty when purchasing the pump from us, so it’s no different to buying a brand new unit from main dealer.. apart from the price difference!

A common failure on the Toyota Hilux Surf & Landcruisers is that the bushes become worn over time as with many 4×4′s. The problem is that you can’t buy these bushes anywhere and 99% of the time you’d have to approach a main dealer who will charge in excess of £1000 for a new power steering rack – Just because the bushes are worn?!
We have a team of highly skilled hydraulic engineers, technicians, electricians and engineers. We are able to manufacture the steering rack bush kits in-house and offer them to general public and trade at a very affordable price.
