Strange, the 'servotronic' unit on my 1998 2.5 petrol Elite was/is located up at the back of the glovebox and yes it is 'red' plus it has 'SERVOTRONIC' printed on it, two other relays are near by.
Full info from the top down: C3 ZF Sevotronic 7038 900 210 GM ZR 90 459 301 3x5 624 16/96 (this is a spare) yours if you want it

well well, decissions decissions. I have had servotronic relay fail, and only played up at speed,no reason why it wouldnt play up at any speed i guess but with that in mind would tend to think pump, but with a free relay to try i would give that a go first, obviously, if you had to pay for it, (£70 iirc from vx) i would want it verified via tech2 first or you may end up paying for both relay AND pump.
Oof to the rescue, try the relay and go from there. :-)

Thanks, will have a look and let you know
Forgive me for sounding a little thick, but what does the relay actuall do to the power steering pump? :-?

It controls the amount of assistance that the rack gets at different speeds and lowers the assistance at higher engine speeds.
