I had the same problem with my Fiat punto, it worked on the same sort of electric steering got another electric pump at the breakers changed it and haven't had that problem since.

It happened to me when i used to drive a tranny van. Never found out what it was though. Sometimes when i switched it on it would be either so stiff i couldnt turn the wheel or a bit jolty, bloody annoying but it would fix itself after a min or 2 or if i switched it off and back on again.
