I've just replaced the PS pump and alternator in the AU3 Futura wagon that's now my work car. Second replacement in about 5 years. The first PS pump replacement was off eBay and had some detail differences compared to the original, and always had a very slight leak, which is why I've had to replace the alternator.
Anyway, the new PS pump I bought from Repco because it was in stock ready to collect. It looks exactly like the original and doesn't show any sign of leaking. However talking to a workmate, his father had the same issue with his AU, and when he replaced the PS pump and alternator, he put in a shield under the PS pump as insurance, to make sure it didn't drip into the alternator if it started to leak. I believe he made the shield himself from a piece of aluminium. I'm not so handy as to be able to fab something up, so I was hoping to buy one from somewhere. So far Google searches and searching this forum haven't turned anything up. Just wondering if anyone knows of a suitable product?
