we bought a xc40 R design D4. it was from salvage. Was a right off all frontal damage. It has been built back up but keeps saying power steering failure. Any help would be appreciated how to fix it? :

The electric power steering is powered by the secondary battery that also manages the stop/start. It often gives up from lack of car use and take a long time to start working again (after more car use / charging) Check the secondary battery.

Buying crash damage write-off's can be risky, there is always clear damage you see and often damage you can't see - hopefully is is something simple but it could be anything - personally I would not go anywhere near a write-off regardless of the "potential savings" - It's only my personal opinion but I would not be able to fully trust a car to protect as it was designed to do knowing it had already been written-off ??
