Just fitted a new pump to the chim.

After 200 miles and one T/D it is still really noisy!

It makes a slight noise all the time and makes that "my power steering is shagged" noise when you turn the wheel!

It sounds like air in the pump but if so, how do you remove it?

I have tried the, turn wheel from lock to lock several times.

Im still convinced you have a small air leak some where could even be a tiny needle hole in the pipes

Spoke to Neil Garner, (Tiv indy).

Turned wheel to full lock and held it there, repeat in other direction and hold, repeated several times.

The fluid reservior has lots of frothy bubbles in it, the noise is still very bad!

I'm thinking the new "cheap" pump may not be sound!

Buy louder speakers then, I herd it fixes wheel bearings, noisy roofs, power steering pumps and many other wonderful things like the whine you can get from the passengers seat
