Freelander 2 (LR2) Intermittent heavy power steering and engine whine

Arranach said:

My Freelander 2 TDS engine started to whine during acceleration. After a short while the power steering began to get heavy at low revs. Power steering pump changed. This had no affect. However, the heaviness of the power steering increased and the also the frequency. Second pump fitted and still no better.

Any clues as to the reason?

Thanks

Did you also change the power steering reservoir, it as a built in filter which cannot be changed, so could be restricting the flow of fluid? they are cheap enough.
