Was this at engine idle?

Next time it happens try giving more revs, see if it improves. Sounds like a tired PAS pump to me.

Not that hard.I will try and remember to take some pics tomorrow.I removed one from an engine a couple of days ago,so I could put it back on loosely,and then take pics of removal.
I might need reminding though. Its known as Albseimers around these parts. ;) ;D
