It could be the pump if its making god awful noises. Have you checked to make sure the aux drive belt is ok and that you have the correct amount of fluid in the pas resovoir???

Sorry then mate, it sounds as though the pump is shot. Please wait and see other peoples views before you start stripping down.

Deffo pump, not a common fault so second hand ones are a reasonable bet.
