   also must add
   
   there are no fluid leaks,
   
   also i know that fuse 2 is for power steering but what 1 is fuse to, top left, top right etc
   
   also a fuse diagram would be great for me to check other fuses

   you can sometimes hit and it will temporary solve the problem, but its a common fault,
   
   i have a pump for sale

   ITS FIXED
   
   when down the garage today and had a look it
   
   tried the ignition thing - no joy
   changed relays - no joy
   checked wiring - all ok
   checked for leaked - all dry
   
   when i was looking at the pump i give it a tap with the hammer on the metal side on teh drivers side and it kicked in but made a hel of a noise but did work, then it jammed again and no steering so i hit it again lol, worked again...
   
   so 2moz im nipping over the scrappy and buying a good pas pump for teh matter of £20-£30
   
   if you hit it and it work's i would not suggest usin it like this, as it may jam and that means the bushes are stuck hence smoke and possible a small fire to start with but can cause the fuel line to catch on fire, this is my choice but we all have our own opinions
