Probably not much wrong with the Britpart ones, and they should do OEM and genuine a well.
Have you looked into getting the old one reconditioned, either at a local place, or sending it off?

No I haven't looked at getting rebuilt working on the assumption a rebuild won't be far off the cost of a replacement ? May have a look at that
I don't think the one on my Ninety ever failed. When they went on tractors, I used to take them apart and fix them, just a rotor and a few seals. Unless the pump body was too worn, in which case you have to get new.

May be worth asking @bluedog333 he was potentially also looking for a new pump last week. So may be a step ahead of you.

Guessing at bearing wear, a badly worn impeller, or foreign matter in the works.
Foreign matter was my first thought too, then bearings kaput - but he types faster
Have you stripped the pump and had a nosy inside ?

Could be just sludge from degraded PSF has knacked it, no-one ever changes PSF these days, except me.
I would unbolt it and dismantle too. You haven't got much to lose, and it could be a simple fix.

Good. Your pump and steering box will thank you for it!
The box is happy but the pump squeals like a little bitch. I fear it’s on borrowed time. New fluid does quieten it down though.

Ere. Mr Turbo, WE change ours too
Just wondering how many conscientious maintainers that comment would bring out of the woodwork.
Would be interesting to see a demographic breakdown of such matters. I would guess most of us oldies change the stuff regularly.
But judging by some of the reservoirs I have looked in, there must be sectors of the populace that are not so careful!

Only partial, unless you drain some out of the lower part of the system as well.
