Here,s one for you
beast5680:
did you manage to tap the pump shaft back in ok then? i tried but it didnt seem like it wanted to move something must be up inside for it to move though surely?
blacknight:
Everytime i have tapped the shaft it has been with the belt still in place and under tension.
The first time i tapped it it didn't want to move. Thinking that the belt was holding it back i moved the belt towards the front edge of the pulley(towards the radiator) and then tapped, it moved slightly but not enough so kept on moving belt and tapping until it went back fully.
Next time i may relax the tension from belt before tapping, may move easier!
Maybe it could be oil presure forcing it out, or stopping it from going back into place!

my power steering pump went last week :shock:
when i got it to my independent dealer they told me that landrover had issued a recall on my pas pump :D result, paid half price for a replacement, may be worth checking to see if yours is the same. mine is a 97 300tdi with the original pump
beast5680:
well had a go at the steering problem today took the pump off for a look and tapped the shaft back in to the housing as has been suggested, refitted and ran it, it pushed back out to the same position again :evil: so i await the arrival of a new one to be fitted
blacknight:
Well beast5680 you've got further than me. Have a mini weather monitor with an outdoor sensor and it,s not been much above freezing today so the furthest i got was a look under the bonnet and found that the pulley on mine had also moved out of line, looks as though i will also have to buy one.
Out of curiosity did the pump come off easily and did it look like it would come apart for servicing.
Both me and somebody i work with both have mechanical backgrounds, admittedly not in the vehicle trade and both agree that if when this pump comes off that if it doesn't come apart easily, it's going to get cut apart to find what causes this shaft to move out of the pump.
