Thread: Power steering pump for Discovery 2 2003.

so we finally fired the old girl up and decided to bleed the system with no success. we looked at several guides, tried the land rover workshop manual way and can't seem to get any power assistance at all.
anyone have any ideas. or anything better than the very vague workshop manual.

For some reason putting a kit through a failed PS pump rarely seems successful. I ended up replacing mine.

QYX100260 is the one im after but again no specs available.
its the one on the steel pipe that fits into the high pressure side of the pump.
anyone know any details

If I'm following your issue correctly... when I recently replaced the PAS pump on my 2004 D2a, I took the O ring to Bursons (which by now looked like a flat washer), and we simply did our best to match it to a stock o-ring in those boxes they have - and everything was fine.

As for bleeding the system, have you fixed a clear plastic piece of hose to the bleed screw on top of the steering box, with the other end in the PAS fluid bottle? I did this, and then followed the workshop manual until the bubbles stopped. I found it tricky to get the bleed screw open enough but not too much...
