power steering pump failure.......
......whilst driving round a bend at 20mph.steering went very heavy and could only turn steering with alot of force very slowly. dread to think what would have happened if it decided to go at 100mph round a bend.
this happened to anyone else?

Same thing happened when my missus was driving the Scoob and I was out of the country 
turns out that when I had been draining and refilling PAS fluid, with the little filter out, part of the filler cap came adrift and went into the pump, eventually finding its way to the pump's HP output.
The pump's not difficult to strip, take it apart and see what you can find.
