   Many reasons why, are your heaters still working? If they are, then its the Pump itself, usually a few light taps with a hammer onto the PAS pump should work for a few thousand miles.
   
   If the heaters are not working then its a little £2 electrical problem in your ignition barrel, want anymore help on this, PM me

   Thanks for the tip Domleydon - you've just saved me a 3 figure bill! Just cancelled the garage and left a hammer in the boot!!
