when I ordered my car I was made a guinea pig as they fitted the Tamora steering. Absolutely superb and very responsive at any speed. Cannot reccomend strongly enough. Was told factory toying with the idea as standard. Anyone else had this done?

I believe that the Tamora has an electrically operated power steering pump, rather than a belt driven pump as in the Tuscan.

Does a belt driven pump rely on going faster etc? Can we get one retrofitted?

The tamora pas does use an electric pump AFAIK. Mole Valley told me the pump's off a renault (van??)
