Power steering failure

[bigcheez2k3]

I was going to suggest the seals on the pulley/bearings but seems you've sorted it. Have changed 2 pumps now because of that.

Out of interest, did you buy a new pump or replace with a good used item? 

Mine's groaning quite loud, louder than normal even and was thinking about replacing the pump when I change to a VTS rack. Wasn't sure on the quality of new pumps.

Been 2nd hand pumps both times. As a note, it wasn't twice on 1 car, I've changed a pump on both my 306's so nothing against used pumps yet.

Except the one on the newer car failed not long after I sold the one from the old car :/
