Serp power steering pump - which one?

[ianwynneuk]

Hi all,
Just thought I would pick your brains. TVR Barnet told me the whine in my bay is the power steering pump and it is on its way out, would rather replace than the bearing explode in it. Is this true as I have read on here that the whine is not always the pump?
The whine is definitely linked to the steering though as is louder when turning the steering wheel whilst movnig or stationary.
The bible says it is a Land Rover one - but which one? Can someone send mm a link to it? How about Ebay? Should I get it reconditioned and if so where? Is reconditioning reliable?

Thanks a million

Are you sure it's not the Alternator whining, as they very often do this ?

Not sure - how can I check? Under load on the steering it whines whether moving or stationary. TVR Barnet said power steering pump but this could be wrong?

Any advice to identify?

Thanks.

Hi,
Checked the power steering pump today against the photo on this link that was recommended and not convinced that it is the same... here are some pics - can anyone identify and confirm if the link is the right pump or I need something else?

Thanks in advance for your help - couldn't do without it!

Yes you are right, it is from a 95. Does anyone know a particularly good, cheap place to buy one?

Thanks.

How sure are you that this is the right part?
Are any of the Ebay ones viable as they are much cheaper!?

Thanks. Sorry to be a pain but want to get this right. Tempted by the recon idea...
