Hi,

Just been out in the car and when turning full lock there is a strange noise from the engine bay. Happens only when turning right. And it is 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn before you hit full lock. The sound lasts only a second. It's not the same as the sound you get on full lock.

I have checked and the fluid level is correct and I have no leaks. It does it when parking at low speed or if the car is stood still and I go from lock to lock.

It has only started doing it this evening. Could it be the cold weather it's 1c here?

Any ideas?

Thanks

Could you possibly get a video or audio recording of the sound as it happens?

So to change the pump what do I need to buy?

Pump - found one on Ecp
Fluid - holds 1litre but should I buy more
Belt - is it called the auxiliary belt?

What should I expect labour to cost?

Thanks
