thats when the pump is under the most load and in this case the transistor? in the pump are failing due to the heat they generate powering the motor.
eventually it will fail completly and Not take the loom out as that does happen on the mini EHPS
 
Sadly the Electronic Power Steering is the achilles heal of the BMW Mini.

I'm an AA Patrol and a lot of BMW Mini's I see have noisy EPS. Very expensive to replace I'm afraid although I have never replaced one myself.
