Jamie - I had a Peugeot 306 - about a 94/95 model without power steering back in the late nineties. Someone told me when I bought it that it would be like steering a tank and it certainly was. I had to get rid of it two months later because it put my neck out. I found it so hard to steer and trying to reverse out of my drive was a mammoth task. Within a week I'd developed a bad shoulder and a crick in my neck and within no time, it became intolerable. So I don't think its a fault on your car - sorry chick.

I've had three - great cars, but they do have heavy steering - get used to it after a while.
