It sounds like your pump is a goner.  I had similar problem on my car, it ended up being a loose connector at the pump.  Try unplugging the connector and crimping it JUST A LITTLE with a pair of pliers and then connect/disconnect a few times to clean up the connector pins.  If it works, this will buy you some time while you source a new pump.  Don't get lulled into a false sense of security, your pump is failing and will need to be replaced.

Yeah, I'm thinking pump too.

Yep, I was over there on vacation.  We only spent a night in Amsterdam, so I didn't get a really good look around.  Your country is very beautiful, and very tolerant of some pretty ugly American tourists...of all the places in Europe that we visited it was the easiest to get around if you only speak English.  I still have some of your old money around...we went before the Euro.

I'd highly recommend it as a vacation...Amsterdam is a blast.  It's up there with New Orleans and New York as my favorite places to be...I'll be back when the kids get a little older.

I'm already lookin for a new pump, it's indeed one of those parts were you want to be sure of working correct.

Glad you've got a good time in Amsterdam , its a nice city.
I also like the tolerancy in my country although i have the feeling that it's changing a little.
More unneccesary rules and laws , our country is not so big and we've got a relatively large population so the government wants to controle alot these days.
But you wil experience the same thing in America i guess
I find the old Guldens a better lookin money than the euro, and i think a lot of people here will agree with me.

I actually never been to America but i would love to go sometime.
You're country has got so big in such a relatively short time-span, thats pretty interesting... But until i go al my money will flow to the old BMW

America is big, but you can skip most of it depending on what you like.  If you like to party, do New York or LA.  If you like to gamble, Las Vegas or New Orleans.  If you like the outdoors, Yosemite, Rocky Mountain Nat'l Park, Pacific Northwest, etc.  Getting around America isn't nearly as easy as Europe though.

Or head up north to Canada.  They're a little like us (just cleaner & more polite)...  Toronto is a great city to hang out.
