John - As its just a vacuum pump then your air con idle up + egr. should be affected to some degree as well as brake servo. Is this the case?
There was a posting a week or two back about the oil feed to the vac pump being blocked and affecting the vac pump - hence servo prob. I would check this out before forking out for a new/recon pump.
Vac gauges are available for small money from accessory shops - this would enable you to check how efficiently its working though someone else may like to comment on suction figures expected on a good unit.
If you follow the vac lines to the alternator etc.
Good luck
