Low tyre pressures? Low PAS fluid level? Total wimp of a driver?

Does it feel OK to you? Might be worth getting a second opinion. Doesn't sound like anything's wrong to me - he was probably just finding excuses.

when i 1st bought the car i thought the steering seemed stiff so i took it to kwik fit and the MOT tester guy checked it and said there was nothing wrong with the steering there was a small oil leak coming from the front drivers side i took this to a local garage and it was the drive shaft seals as there had been a new clutch put in before i bought the car but they used the old seals hence why they were leaking . im planing on taking it to another garage just to check so i can be sure there is no problem with the steering . also can you tell me do the aerial on these cars screw on or just push on ive snapped my aerial when i put my roof up and lost all radio channels but cant seem to get the old aerial off
