After numerous tries to move the steering wheel from side to side and then driving the car, there is still a whine, how do we get this system bled?
First, you need to make sure you are using the right fluid. Your system call for Dexron II or Dexron III automatic transmission fluid. Other fluids may "cavitate" or "foam" in your system and cause the whining noise you are describing.
Then, when bleeding the system, you need to let the foam settle for half an hour or more between "bleedings".
Start the engine, turn the steering wheel full lock left and right about 3 times. NOTE: When at full lock, hold the wheel there for about 3 seconds before turning in the other direction. (this will force fluid to flow through the pressure relief valve in the pump.) DO NOT hold at full lock for longer than 5 seconds - system damage can occur.
Then shut the engine off and wait for the foam to settle, (about 1/2 hour)then repeat. It may take 4 or 5 times to get all the air out so it doesn't make any more noise. Also note that normal driving of the car does nothing to get the air out. The fluid must be forced through the pressure relief valve to have enough pressure/flow to release the air trapped in the rack and pinion unit.
Testimonial: "i want to thank dtech for saving us additional time and labor on this repair, no repair guides or the dealer offered the correct advice. thank yiu again for demonstrating going outside the box. harold"

Hi is your mini fitted with power steering if so this sounds like the steering rack if this is the case then you may also find that your hydraulic fluid is dissipating from the reservoir. Or it could be the drive Bering on the steering pump. Either way there is no quick fix or cheap way out as a new rack would cost around £500 with a new drive Bering around £150. If however it is not fitted with power steering then sorry I don’t know. Hope this helps

power steering belt broken or fell off, or the pump is out of oil. The pump is down on the right hand side (passenger) between the fire wall and the engine. You should be able to see if the belt is still on. Check the resevoir for oil. It is on the same side. It's a little plastic pot with a dipstick. Let me know how you make out.

The whine is most likely your power steering pump. Check the fluid in the pump. If you are low on power steering fluid you may have a leaking hose or fitting or the seals in the pump may have began leaaking. If you continue to run the auto without power steering fluid you will burn up the power steering pump very quickly.
