Just something to keep in mind.

BTW, is your PS pump electric, or is it run off of the engine?
So far i have messed up three times trying to start with the switch in the off position, eventually it will will become routine, which will be nice .

My power steering runs off the belt so i get it when in gear, it coast's quite well in 5th gear, i was surprised by that.
