   Anyone know what's involved in changing an electric power steering pump on a 1997 Saxo 1.5 SXD, ie what tools are needed/any problems and about how long it takes to do?
   
   Thanks, Dave.

   took me 30 mins, just a matter of taking off all the pipes + electrical wires, then take all the bolts holding it to the bracket then it just slides out, just need the right spanners, mabye some wd40 if the bolts are tight, then it's just a matter of fitting the new pump and connecting everything again
