Okay after reading through a lot of threads a lot of people are saying different things. Everytime I started up my car I got a loud whining noise for about a minute, more recently it take about 30 seconds of driving for the noise and then the pas starts working. Refitted a driveshaft yday and the noise was constant whilst driving and got louder when I turned the wheel. Stopped off at halfrauds and got back in to find it wasn't working all the way home.

Is this just the pump completely gone? Would a new power steering pump solve this? People have been saying tap it with a hammer, will that solve it tempoary whilst I get a pump sorted?
Or could this noise and failre mean something else?
Thanks
