Got my first Valver after much wanting on Sunday. 1994 in black and pretty much completely standard - just how i wanted it! Love it but I've noticed a few slightly disconcerting things that I was wondering if anybody could help me out on. Firstly, the steering - when I'm at very slow, creeping speeds the power steering (I think) tends to howl and whine quite a bit as I'm actually turning the wheel. The steering performs perfectly otherwise. Is this fairly normal or is it going to be a problem? I vaguely recall reading something similar on here a while back but I'm not sure!
Secondly, the stereo (or lack thereof). The old stereo was removed when I bought it, so currently it has nothing audio-wise at this moment. What I was wondering is, as I have the steering wheel controls and no stereo, is it possible to get one that would be compatible with the old controls or is this not possible?
Finally, the damn centre caps on the wheels: are they supposed to fall off? When I got the car two of them had fallen off, and today when I gave it a bit of boot another one decided to come off and I think I ran it over! Surely this isn't supposed to happen? Any ideas where I could get some replacements? Any help on these issues would be appreciated. Loving the car so far though, insurance went up a few hundred (I'm only an 18 year old doing A-levels), but it was definitely worth it!
Cheers
