Thread: Power Steering - Pump supply hose failure

Hi Mark. I guess you could use generic hydraulic hose ... might not sit pretty in the engine bay ... some insulating material & cable ties should keep the hose sitting pretty.

... and no need to bleed. Just fill the reservior, start the engine, and turn the wheel L to R several times to get the air out of the system, and then top up the reservior again.

Kev..

Thanks Kev, I thought as much.

Cheers

I just took my TD5 disco for its first 2hr HWY run. I noticed a puddle of fluid under the car after it was parked for 1/2 hour, it was comming from the power steering suction hose. Its just a weep atm.

Can you buy the hose individually or do you need to by the hose kit?
Any one have the part number handy.

same happened here, AU$59.60 for a hose, apprantly Land Rover Australia have plenty in stock - happens often does it......

anyway, used a jubilee clip on the end nearest the pump and then two p-clips to hold the PAS hose off the engine case.

Hay Ewe

err, being a muppet here are the pics of the clips

Have you guys ever heard of the seal in the power steering being replaced?

My pump has a leak, but from what I can gather people dont bother doing the seal, they use stop leak fluid??

Whats the size of hydraulic hose needed to replace that hose. I think mine is rubbing badly n need to change asap.
