They had to remove the whole exhaust system and all steering fluid for the work. I am going back in on Saturday for them to refit my exhaust in the center as they have refitted it all wonky. Also my battery terminal was so loose it nearly fell off !!!
It's a little hard to follow your post, I don't quite understand "tick over"... All I can get is that they purged your power steering system after bringing it in for "noises & funny feeling"... That solved the problem ? But created another problem "whine / drone" ? Where ? While doing what ?
More details of your current problem will help... But in the meantime, power steering pumps/system that are not operating correctly will cause the pump to "whine / drone"... Low power steering fluid will cause the pump to make abnormal sounds when turning... Air bubbles in the system can create the same problem...
First thing I ask is that you go out to your car and check the level of your power steering fluid... Then come back to the forum and post a more detailed description of the problem...
