MINI Power Steering failure

B*gger , buying some trainers tonight and just about to park up and the steering goes 'incredible hulk' on me !!!!!!!!!!!
No whine from the car , so its sounds like the power steering pump has died.
Checked on MINI2.com and this sort of failure seems very common :-(

Will book it into dealer ASAP and report back on here........
Actually called MINI Emergency services and they came to take it away.....
