i have just bought a 91 S2, shortly after driving it home a strange noise developed, i think it may be the power steering pump. does anyone know if this is a common fault?

Welcome to the forum...
check the fluid level and if your belts are tight first.

@ Rocketdog just try nipping the belt up a little, you will most likely find that will do the trick.Comment

My pump has a tappping/cavitating noice every morning and I have changed my pump. The problem for me is that the pump sucks air from somewhere and I have to turn the steering wheel a couple of times before I start driving. When I do this I can clearly see a lot of air bubbles in the tank and the noice goes away. I have found a small leakage in a hose but I haven't changed it yet.Comment
