Mel, mine started making a funny noise when over in Essex at the annual meet. Somewhere in tone between a groan and a whine.
We did some listening to it and it was in the PS pump, when cold. When warmed up it went out of it. Now that I'm back a week it is now there full-time, but I have not driven the car much to be honest, nor did I do diddly squat about fixing it.
The noise in mine is from cavitation, air bubbles in the pump. This is usually caused by air getting in the squashed seal below the reservoir, the well known O ring fix. Shame on me because I actually have a new one here. Somewhere.
Switch the car on and have a listen under the hood. If the sound narrows down to the PS pump, good chance that's your problem.
Joe
