	A friend is building this replica car. Powered by a late Series 3 Jaguar 4.2 engine. Steering pump seems to have a problem, making noises when under load, even moderate load. It is matched to a Senator 3.0 steering box. Jag pump Senator steering box Youtube and Gogle suggested that there is air in the system and how to purge it……. Turn 4x to the left and 4x to the right, open breather and purge air. Kevin has gone through the cycle repeatedly, to the extent of topping up at least a litre of PS fluid. And still no resolution. He seems to think the pump may have been run dry when he got and bench tested the motor. QUESTIONS 1.) Could the pump be damaged? 2.) Can it be repaired? 3.) Can a replacement be found- A: Cheaply B: Free for price of shipping or collection? I know a few guys on here dabble or are heavily into Jaguars and related products like ivanhoew and others. If you are a power steering pump specialist or onow these things really well, please PM me so that I can connect you and Kevin. Most of us probably use Whatsapp video or some similar system so it could be hugely helpful. Thanks.

I did post this question in the technical section, but I know a lot of guys, me included do not always go in there. Your diagnosis sounds about right. I will copy and paste this post and response into the question thread so that Kevin can see it as well. Thank you misteralz

	I ran a Monza steering box on a 24V pump with no issues so on that basis a Monza pump should run a 3.0 Senator box I'll have an ask round the Norfolk Monza Mafia and see if we have a spare power steering pump kicking around

Much appreciated. Also another comment quoted below from the S10 thread. Sept 2, 2021 21:23:38 GMT toolbagted said: The early barret/vicarage mk2 jagaur kits used the jaguar pump and xj rack. Is the pump the highest point ,jack the front up to bleed it by going lock to lock and would then leave it just incase the pump is cavitating.There was a place in Gillingham M and P steering who rebuilt a few boxes for me not sure if they are still going.
