I've not managed to update my thread on here in a while as I've been busy getting the Disco through it's MOT (which turned out to be more expensive than expected, but that's another story...)
Tonight, however, saw my first breakdown in it, as she threw off the serpentine belt on the M3. The reason for this was that one of the pulleys had sheared completely off!
The pulley in question was the smooth one between the alternator and the crankshaft (300TDi) - am I right in thinking this is the PAS pump?
If so, is it easy to change? Is there anything I should look out for? or anything else that is worth changing at the same time?
I didn't manage to get any photos, as it was too dark...
Many thanks!

the pumps are about a hundred quid.before you disconnect the pipe work.clamp the flexi ones as near to the pump as possible. it reduces the amount of fluid loss.i did ours in about 1 1/2 hours so not too bad. when you get the pully off the remains of the shaft check to make sure there is no damage.and do remember to put it back the right way. mine was marked to front.
