    D3 power steering hose broken by touching fan blade

    Hi all, can someone help to tell if I have to replace the whole hose from the reservoir to the rack or just a part of it? And what part number should I look for ?
    Please see red mark in my photo.
    My steering hose touched the fan blade and no steering atm becausethe fluid comes out like flood asap.

    Mine is D3 05 TDV6 Manual.

    Thanks a lot.

    You can see where the metal section of the hose assembly has been bent pointing it towards the fan in the photo. You can get a replacement section, or take it to a hydraulic place to repair, but I suspect the replacement part will be simpler and cost effective

    Yeah, it is upper hose / High Pressure power steering wheel hose for a D3.

    It seems I have to get it whole used hose from a local wrecker.

    Done! HAPPY EASTER !

    Finally, after no luck with local LR spare shop, and also wasting 2 hours trip to a big local LR wrecker who insisted they have enough in stock but turned out they just got a different style of hose (mine is banjo style on top but theirs are just normal straight hose with rubber rings on both ends), I came to Pirtek in my area to get them made me a new hose.

    $165 sounds a bit high but to compare with hours of wasting time going around and still look to pay $125 or more for an used one, I am more than happy with Pirtek.

    Happy to see no oil out of the hose.

    My recommendation and lesson: go local Hydraulic guys in the area and they will make you satisfied in 3-4 hours.

    Happy Easter guys!
