Steering Pump Replacement.
Discussion
The one i looked at today doesn't have those 2 lugs or the small inlet pipe just a plastic blanking plug.
Was also a britpart not ZF but a third of the price.

That's exactly the one i saw at my local LR indie today a britpart not ZFBut if it works the same then who cares their price £63.45inc
Got to worth a shot at that price.
FF001306 here, 3.5 V8 EFI, ZF pump. I replaced mine with one of these and it's been excellent.. . . Famous Four
Easy to remove and fit. The pump sits inside the housing and it's a lot smaller than you think as the housing remains on the head when you remove it.
Be careful when re-fitting that you make sure you get air out of the system, try and keep the fluid in the hoses etc and give it a few turns by hand before you start it up and you should be fine . .

The pump doesn't just pressurise fluid.
The valves that control the PAS are in the pump too.
My valves were knackerd. When I fitted a new pump it not only cured the noise that I was chasing. It radically changed the feel of the steering too.
It's so much better.
Now, not having tried the Britpart one, I can't comment on how good they are. The valving might be as good, or even better than ZF for all I know.
I went for the genuine ZF because it was cheaper the buying cheaper and doing the job twice if I was unhappy.
If other people have good results with Britpart then maybe they will work out.
What's needed is for someone to try fitting each new pump to the same car, then compare the feel.

Did you remove the banjo nut off the rack i couldn't undo the high pressure nut on the pump on the car.
Once i removed the pipe off the rack i could pull the pipe through and remove the pump.
Once on the ground i then was able to crack the nut.
All parts off and decided to powder coat the housing so will re fit next weekend.

Took it out today for the first time after fitting the pump.
works a treat
A cheaper upgrade to a refurbed rack and well worth while IMO
Also powder coated the surround black looks smart.
And finished the job of with a new belt.
