I went to pick it up yesterday (after its second alternator change!) and we listened to the Power steering pump from underneath the car whilst it was up on the hoist.... yes, it does sound noisy(ish) when listened to with the stethoscope, but not 100% bad. Everything sounds rough when listened to with one of those.
But... I will get another pump and get that fitted I think. The pipes to the pump look good, no evidence of fluid leakage, but I will check out the LP feed pipe tomorrow to see if i can see any evidence of air being pulled in to the circuit. I did mention the overflowing of the reservoir when removing the cap and the mechanic said that's normal, its just the return from the rack.
By the way, its a 1997 2.3FPT anniversary with 287K, I have never changed the pump (or anything else worth mentioning and I have had it since 134k), so I don't begrudge spending a few quid on it, its a fabulous car.
Regards Martin
