Just lost power steering intermittently while parking this morning. Rapidly came on and off while reverse parking then came back on. Me thinks pump buggered? Any ideas guys?
And yeah fluid is full.

Belt doesn't screech, and its new. I think pulley or pump.

Pump doesn't 'sorta work' intermittently, it either fails or it doesn't. Also, did you bleed the system properly when you refilled the fluid?

And if you've just replaced the belt, that's even more telling. What's the total lateral play in the centre of the longest point to point span of the best?

This is the problem... The deflection needs to be checked from the bottom at the longest span. ... As per manual

Because you can always just chuck a long edge rule down there & measure it in car

Always thought that's a rubbish way to do it.
