Loss of power steering

My RR seems to have lost complete power steering, at standstill it is almost unable to steer the wheel but when moving you do get some power back but not much.
Fluid level looks fine, no warning on dash or anything. Really annoying as I will have to get it recovered as its not driveable.
I have searched with a number of possible reasons, most likely parts seems to be the Servotronic transducer but not sure..
Anyone else experience this before?

Could it be the steering coupling is seized? It wears and gets sticky creating stiff spots on turning, butif its completely seized, it could be something that simple? Bodsys Brake Bible

You'll not believe this - the exact same happened to my 2010 on Friday - into the dealers today and they're replacing the power steering pump saying that it is the cause of the problem.

I thought it was snow trapped in the arches from playing in it the other day, as it was working intermittently, but seemed to be getting progressively worse. Today it was almost impossible to move the steering wheel.

I'll know more tomorrow but they told me today that it was the power steering pump has failed. MY10 HSE 3.0 TDV6 : Santorini Black : Ebony Interior w/Anigre wood : Privacy Glass (total) : Sunroof : Sidesteps : Hybrid TV : Detachable Tow Kit : Spare Wheel Cover : 22" Dished Supersports

Luckily I have warranty so will get it checked out, apparently the belt snapping is common too should find out in a few days
