I've been noticing a couple of odd things while the weather has been so cold.
When i start my car in the morning, i preheat it for as long as the light tells me to, and i turn thekey but i kind of starts with a sort of bang - not an explosion bang more like a knock kind of bang - and its just the first start from icy cold. If i immediately stop and start again it starts normally after that and also when warm
Another ting is i can feel a slight notchy feel to the steering when moving slowly, ie, parking, manouevring etc - particularly noticeable when stationary (yes i know you don't really turn the wheel when stationary - but this demonstrates the prob more)
Any of the above familiar to anyone?
cheers
