a mate has brought a 1999 T reg 1.0 Breeze for his sister and sent me the link from ebay, it says it has power steering but i was unsure at first cos i always thought corsas with power steering had an airbag steering wheel and this has got an old two spoke wheel.
told my mate, got him worrying, but then i realised the steering wheel could have been changed so just wondering if anyone else would know if they do have power steering.
the owner brought the car as it was. my mates now just wondering if hes wrong with the power steering. strange i know he just wants to see some opinions. cheers for any help

Just switch the ignition on, if an EPS light comes on it has it. If not it doesn't.
