   Well my Power Steering Pipe has burst yet again
   
   Any way to disable the pump until it gets sorted? Relay or Fuse?
   
   Last time it cost £128 fitted, Is that reasonable or a bit crap?
   
   Cheers guys

   Don't know about disabling the pump, but £128 fitted isn't a bad price fitted, I got charged a fair bit more than that ages ago. I think the pipe new from citroen is about £90 on its own

   The fuse is used for:
   
   Rear View Demister
   Air Conditioning (which i doubt you have.. european models)
   Heated Rear Screen
   Power Assisted Steering
   
   Its the 25 amp fuse towards the middle of the fusebox (inside the car).

   Im sure there is a plug into the PAS pump? Also i got a second hand pipe for £35 and its an easy enough job to fit yourself pal.
