This isn't your usual power steering thread!

I've tried the search but haven't been able to find an answer to this question. Are there two different kind of power steering pumps? I bought a second hand one to replace mine but it is different to the one that is currently under my bonnet. It has a seperate reservoir connected by a pipe but where the other pipes attach to it is in different positions? I've had a look on ebay and there are ones similar to the one I bought and also the one currently in my bay, are they interchangeable (with some work) or am I going to have to find another the same as my current one?

Cheers :)

Sounds to me as if you have a pump unit from a mk1 they had a seperate tank [plastic] mk2 have a all in one unit they are interchangerble ok
