Brought the car second hand and its spent more time in garage than myself driving it. Power steering went and the auto gear box stopped working. It's diesel auto on 03 plate. Since I have had it back I steering is just not right really stiff and feels like its not going to turn, steering is lighter when I break. I have taken it back a few times and they saying there is nothing wrong but it just doesn't steer and feel very unsafe in it Please please could you give me advice

Is fluid full. Belt tight enough? If fluid low it could have ruined its ability to pump. I don't understand the connection with brakes so far, T

You said it's been checked out and declared there's nothing wrong? Someone is missing something. If this is being checked with all four wheels hoisted it pretty much should steer easily as there's not grinding of tires if just sitting in place and perhaps weight on struts is part of this picture? IDK - rack and pinion may be binding inside. If I could feel this in person I'd like to hear some effort being spent right from the pump. It may not be getting pressure to where it is really assisting your intent to steer it. Just curious - will this steer normally to you if in reverse? There might be a clue there? T
