1. It was an optional extra. You would have a pump in the boot if it was fitted, not sure exactly where as i don't have it 

2. Yes, the bushes are worn and need replacing. There is a very good guide in the maintenance child board at the top of this page.

3. Does it splutter and bog down? Or do the revs rise but car doesn't seem to go anywhere? Does it only happen when cold? Just some more info would be useful really.
