Default Vectra 2.6 Power steering problem

Hi Guys
Am new to the forum and would like some advice on a power steering problem.
I have just got my hands on a 2.6 V6 estate and have noticed that the power steering is heavy at tick over. The fluid level is ok and belt tension seems ok. When you rev the engine over 1k the steering is ok. Does it look like the pump could be on its way out? Any idea of the price and supplier of a new pump?

Many thanks in advance.
Dan

Price for both new and used would be good!

Many thanks
