Another one! Yay!

The PAS pumps are generally shite and your probably better off removing the PA stuff and running the a de-PAS rack. It's not heavy at all on 185 and under tyres.
I'm not 100% what you mean by funky gear changes but I know they commonly wear out on the gear stick bushes and linkage arm bushes, they are little plastic bushes which are wank. I recently changed my gearstick to a compbrake one with solid bronze bushes and solid linkages and that transformed the whole gear change, deffinetly worth the £90 I spent on it. You could probably get away with just some bronze linkage bushes which can be found on ebay and some solid linkages.

So what are the plans for it?

I reckon it'd be cheaper to replace the pump, can get one pretty cheap I reckon.

I reckon its the gear stick bushes like you mention, and the linkage bushes, it feels like theres a lot of slop where it should be nice new rubber bush. I've got a compbrake short shift I've been meaning to fit to the 306, think they're the same are they not?

hmm plans I'm still not sure, general tidy up outside, 1.9 wheels and gti bumpers/trim, sort suspension. engine wise start with bosch/tune and fmic but who knows
