The power steering pump took a dump, and I am a few hundred miles from the dealership. It is loud and sometimes feels like there is no power steering. My question is if I keep the resevoir full of fluid would it be safe to drive? I am going to be trading it in for an LR3 due to all the problems I've been having. It is a 2003 by the way. If it fails and does not lock up I can muscle my way down the road.

Thanks

well if it locks up, it will burn the belt off and you wont have a water pump, or charging. so you wont be able to drive far without a water pump. the other scenario is that the pulley will come off and the same results will happen. drive till one or the other happens
