You'd make enough if you brake it up..

All systems fail? Then that will be a main feed pipe, HOWEVER, the 2.5 td uses the Xantia 6+2 type setup where the steering is powered directly off the pump which makes me think its a main feed pipe at the front.. They also have anti sink fitted too like the Xantias..

It's just had a new pump fitted to try and cure the fault. Apparently it runs and drives fine but occasionally everything stops working, but then suddenly it all starts working again. Great for road safety!

Is a valve sticking somewhere?

No, it's in Worcester!

So, could it be a case of checking the main feed pipes for leaks and then driving off into the sunset?
