Hi folks,
Over the past few months my power steering has progressivly been getting noisier.

First of all it just seemed to be whilst giving it a spanking on the twisties, but now it's most of the time.

The noise is simmilar to a supercharger but unfortunatly I know it's not .

I think it's only a matter of time before I see a puddle of red stuff under the car and the steering going heavy (it's ok at the moment).

I'm guessing it's the power steering pump on the way out (unless anyone knows otherwise).

I've seen a secondhand one on ebay for an ST150, but it also says for a Mondeo 1.8 & 2.0 from 2001 - 2007.

Can anyone confirm if these parts are exactly the same as the mondeo parts are much cheaper.

Many thanks
