   Right I know it may be relay, heater blowers are working etc
   
   so I need a relay for a power steering pump, so I want to know where to get 1 from besides scrapyard? Will a 106 one work? How much from dealers will it cost etc, it's a mk2 vtr by the way
   
   thank you

   can try a relay but more then likely pump is on its way out, try giving it a sharp tap with a hammer, sometimes gives them a temporary lease of life
