   I cant find the PAS in the wiring diagram in the haynes manual, is it there? If not how do I check the relay to see if its working or not?

   I think the relay is just above the pump in the engine bay from memory. It will click as the engine is started and click when the engine is stopped. You will need a multimeter to check it properly though but is it does not click then you can be sure it's dead. Don't hear of them going though to be honest, it's usually worn brushes on the pupmp motor.
   
   Give it a tap with a hammer/spanner etc when the engines running - sometimes brings it back to life for a short time anyway.

   I know where it is, jus dont know what to test on the multimeter without faffing about because I dont have a wiring diagram for the PAS circuit. Tbh I think the pump's gone but want to check all other possibilities first (know about checking fluid lol)
