    Power steering problems

    Iv got a astravan g and sometimes the power steering works and sometimes I don't, when breaking hard and turning I notice it and sometimes when first pulling off the drive in mornings. It starts first time and Iv had a new alternator last year so don't think that's the problem, any advice would be great
