Have to get my original pump rebuilt first and then it is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay but you are right it should fetch slightly more than £130.

Generator, Pump, reservoir, Burman steering box and hoses. In fact if I sell this lot it could pay for the rebuild.

I'd hope you'd get considerably more than £130 for that little lot.

Thank you that seems reasonable. I might get my original one rebuilt and keep this one as a spare, although I do have a complete PAS system that it comes from which I might even sell. Generator, Pump, reservoir, Burman steering box and hoses. In fact if I sell this lot it could pay for the rebuild.

Can't remember off the top of my head. I will look out the invoice and post what info I have.

Orlando, I know you said four years a go but how much did they charge for the pump rebuild please?

Thanks Orlando. I only know our local Summit Brake & Steering that did mine.

I had my pump and box refurbished by ICS Steering Specialist [url]http://www.ics-steeringspecialist.co.uk/[/url].

The two units have done four years and 6,000 miles without any problems.

Hard to say Glyn as I noticed the failure of the pump at low speeds and swapped it out for my spare pump before I drove the car any further. Although the star drive had failed when I took it apart and I thought this was the problem I made my own drivers and fitted them and found it was the pump that had failed not just the star drive. Changing the pumps over fixed the problem and I have just found a Holbourne Eaton seal repair kit in my box of many parts so might have a go at repairing my old original pump as this is the one that has the holes on the back to fit the heat shield. If not I think I will send this one off to have it refurbished but at the moment do not know where to send it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Rob, You are a good person to ask this question as you have suffered partial star drive failure to your PS pump. You said you picked this up by steering being heavier than usual. This means the pump was giving less than it's approx 1000psi. At lower pump pressure & with heavier steering was the car any better to drive at speed?

If only one could apply large castor angles to these cars it would make a huge difference. Even the XJ6 started moving in the right direction with 2.25 deg positive castor.
