| Had a similar screeching situation but with a diesel. Think it is the starter and low battery. Mine went away after a battery recharge |

| Recommend genuine power steering hoses when you do get stuck into that and order well in advance as some bits aren’t always in stock, I learnt the hard way with after markets (allmakes). |

| Changed the power steering pipes and reservoir. High pressure hose disconnecting under pressure putting it down to cheap parts so hopefully originals will resolve. |

| With the membrane I put in and the paint between them (same way the heat shield is fixed in the first place) I’ll take my chances. In any case the aluminium will corrode 1st if there is an issue. |
