If you keep watching the pulley, everytime I reach full lock on the steering wheel it starts slowing down/getting stuck. I only did it very briefly in the video but if done for a prolonged time the pulley actually stops and the aux belt slips. I'm going to replace the PAS pump as I'm pretty sure that is what is at fault but just hoping someone in the know could confirm it's the PAS pump at fault?

Aux belt tensioner is more likely ime
It doesn't have one Dan. It's manually tensioned as I've fitted PureMotorsports Air-con delete kit.
Not tight enough then
The belt is pretty tight tbh, I did think about tightening it but was worried about it being too tight and damaging the bearings in the other pulleys.
There's pretty tight or tight tbh, they need to be like a bow string.
Yeah the belt is not tight enough, when you turn your steering you are putting the PAS pump under load and this is why the PAS pump seems to be slowing down because the belt is slipping.
Tighting the belt up a little bit more and try it again, do it bit by bit until the slipping stops.
