Pulled in the drive and had a temporary loss of power steering. Power came back and I pulled into the garage. When I started it the next morning the power steering was gone and it had developed a bad knocking sound - sounds like what a bad rod bearing sounds like. How loud can a bad chain tensioner be? Oil level is fine. Only have 13500 miles on the clock. Due to ill health, it will take a long to dig into the problems. Looks like I will be off the road for a while.
