    A friends brother had same issue with a 08 galaxy that he imported from UK - was covered under warranty no problems and was supposedly a known issue with the galaxy. They had to replace the whole steering system - don't ask me technical as I just know how to drive them and put petrol... Eh diesel in them;)

    If by any chance you imported it then it would have 3 year warranty on it but here 2 years. Have a look around a few UK forums and see if anyone reporting similar issue there and push your case.

    Hi there

    I have an 07 Ford S Max and have brought it to my local garage with a noise when revving as going through the lower gears. Has 82k kilometres.
    Told that I need to replace the Power Steering Pump. Part costs €411.
    Got a second hand one from a dismantlers. Hoping it fixes it but defenitely appears to be a problem with the Ford's. Garage told me they had to replace the whole rack on an 08 Focus too.
    Hope your problem is fixed soon
