Xj6 stiff steering

[Rob22]

After standing unused for a week my xj6 steering is stiff, this doesn't seem to happen on my xf 

The steering improves slowly after driving, could this be a sign of the steering pump or rack failing?

Thanks.

Hiya rob if your car has the hydro/ electric power steering it could be a sign that the battery is failing ,suggest start and run for 10 minutes that restart

Hi, Alfie Collins

Your top about my xj6 stiff steering was spot on, I changed the battery to a spare fully charged and put it on the Jag, steering is now perfect, 

Thanks !
