Default Wobbly/Light Steering at Speed.

Hi, i've got an MC2 which i've just got on the road and the steering ain't feeling as consistant as it should be.

Low Speed:
Steering is quite heavy, sometimes evens feels a little 'sticky' i could say, sometimes it feels freer sometimes not. At corners it's sort of notchy, like it's heavy at first then gets quite light and springy.

High Speed:
At high speed (well, about 60mph+) it feels a bit light, and tends to wobble left and right slowly, like a cushioned wobble not a 'hard' shake.

Braking:
Pretty sure this is probably warped discs, that's what it feels like.. anyway, it may be related.. the car pulls to the left and feels like warped discs. Perhaps my front right caliper isn't working too hot? (my rear left caliper was siezed but i sorted that)


I redone the head recently and a little power steering fluid may have escaped as i moved the reservoir for access.. i haven't checked it yet though.

Any ideas, anything conclusive yous can think of before i get cold, wet and dirty again!

The inconsistencies in the the steering sounds like a PS pump failure, or it may just need the fluid topped off, check your fluid level.
