I hadd exactly this problem on my TD the other week.
It was either the pinion, ram or the FDV. Cant say for sure cos I changed the lot andd works fine now!
I reckon it was the FDV though.

Smokes lots, because enough's enough already!
Far too many BX's, a bus, an ambulance a few trucks, not enough time and never enough cash...

when i had the problem on the 19rd it WAS the FDV and a swap to a spare saw the problem vanish. It's one of the reasons i wanted rid of the FDV on the new BX as they can cause all sorts of strange problems!
On which note MrWrays car doesn't have and FDV (no PAS) and has had no pressure related hydraulic problems even with a slack belt, personally i think this just goes to show that a standard pump must be getting towards its capacity limit on a car with PAS and thus a slack belt of a weak pump is gong to cause lots of trouble!
