Technical Very Light Steering Issue

[DEMONKNIGHT]

Hi all and Merry Christmas,

Odd question from odd person alert, This week my steering has become very light almost PAS light which feels very odd.

The slightest input still moves the car left or right so I don't notice any extra travel in the wheel.

It's hard to put my finger on it but it's so diiferent now because as you know it's normally very heavy, even parking it's lighter.
Could be slipper roads but I'm not sure, from a technical point of view any ideas.
ANYONE............................before the men in white coats come and take me away.............again.

A bit off topic but, Demonknight, are you a Derby fan???

 

[MrDerv]

Back on topic.... The light steering issue is probably over-inflated tyres. I had that issue with my old panda, dropped the pressure and it was fine

silver or gray is the best colour for hiding muck ive found. dont realise how dirty it is until you actually wash it!

It's all the salt they put on the roads.It's treacherous stuff that retains all the moisture.We are all in the same boat, till spring Dude.
