hi I have a 56 plate mk3 galaxy and the steering pump has just failed ie grinding noise,took it to fords and my galaxy has done 58700miles its a 60000 warranty so has just sneaked in for a free repair "phew" but the main part is they havent just replaced the pump they have renewed the hole system steering rack,pipes,tank & pump the guy on the desk says they had 2 at grimsby(Im in scunthorpe) with the same problem but they dont warrant putting just a pump on because theres metal fileings in the oil filter so it has to have the whole lot to eliminate further problems down the line couldve cost around
