PS pump seized?

Drop aux belt off and try turning pulley by hand :y (PS is top right pulley looking from front)

Check other pulleys - alternator, tensioner water pump and a/c compressor!

all turning via the aux belt okay, the screeching is definitely coming from where the removal guide on here says the pump is. so I suspect the pump itself is knackered :(

UPDATE: Replaced the pump supplied by Elite Pete (Thanks Pete  :y ) took just under 2 hours using the guide on here. Jobs a good un, all working as it should.  :)

Thanks for all the help
