   got a 12v feed to the pump from the standard wiring loom yet PAS pump is not runningrunning. Is this the usual behavior of a duff pump? I'll try it on a direct feed soon but just curious as to know

   It worked before I took everything apart, how strange. Its not even been off the car. If I need one, can you give me a price on a used one (providing youve got one in from breaking?)

   65 pounds posted, if its been stood you can try and prise the end cover off and blow any crap out of the motor and get some electrical contact cleaner in there,sometimes works,as can a short sharp clout!

   I'll give it a go and see, does that end cover just prize off easily enough? Without the PAS its an utter bugger to move about on the drive, with 15 inch speedlines with 888s

   Cheers, if not I'll have a used one off you. Bit too drunk to test it now though
   
   Problem solved, just few smacks with the crow bar - I have PAS again!

    Shame it's most likely on its way out though and eventually it will die for good.

    Got a new one for a bout 60 I think though near enough to what Jason has quoted you
