I have a 96 disco 3.9 litre.
Anyway since fitting the 35's and doing some rock hopping the power steering pump crapped it and i was told to forget fixing it but to fit an EL which is i beleive EB through to AU power steering pump. Apparently the easiest one, suited to serpintine belt in the right direction, has it's own reservoir and is much heavier duty than the disco one. Before i attempt fitting it just looking for some tips and what nots. Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.
Cheers

Anyone!!!

Surely some of you have done this conversion before.

Hi Mate,
I'm actually planning this conversion myself as I will be using a ford powerplant and have been told they will do the job. You will need to take the hoses in to a hydraulic joint for them to make up the adaptors though, just that and some mounting mods.
Being they are a in every wreckers in aus, shouldn't cost too much if you ever need to replace it.

Cheers.

I loved to answer it, but i'm scratching my head on how to set it up

I'm trying to find a replacement for my 3.9 EFI with V belt drive and a ford pump would suit me fine ... have plenty lying around ... Just haven't had a chance to compare yet

I'm all ears thou

The windsor pump is completely different to the 4l pump, the 4l pump is still a saginaw, while the 5l pump is bigger and rounder

Matter of fact, I think I may have a serp belt 5l pump under a bench...

Actually I had a bit of serp stuff from a windsor as I converted back to V belts, will have a look, tomorrow

Just for you!

It's probably stuff you've already seen.

Most of the threads relating to power steering pumps are in reference to adding power steering to a Series Land Rover, or using it to power an hydraulic winch.

I think the thread you are looking for was one of the series ones, maybe this-
Disk front end for a 2a??
