Noisy power steering

Bearings recently went in the pump on mine, no leaking to mention but the noise it made during operation by the end was like a bag of nails going through an industrial blender, and sure enough once the pump was off there was lots of play in the shaft.

I ended up fitting @Skezza's old pump bought on a whim 6 months earlier (Good move on my part as my pump was fine at the time)

 

FWIW mine failed at 134K where-as I believe Skezza's had done around 170k(?) so age has no 'bearing' on life expectancy (See what I did there?)
