Thread: Perentie 110 Power Steering Conversion.

IMHO you are better off getting a new PAS box. You can get a new genuine one for not much more than a SH version of unknown quality.
Disco versions will have the wrong drop arm and it is a PITA to change.

Chances are the rubber on any SH hoses will need replacing anyway. However tdi versions should be about the right length, and would be good starting point.

I don't know the problem with custom hoses though? When they need replacing in the future it is easier and likely cheaper to go to pirtek or enzed and get the hoses replaced on the spot for not much money, rather than try and find them in a LR parts catalogue, order them, wait, etc...

When my disco blew its hose I got hose masters to replace it with a custom hose it cost $165 fitted compaired to LR$300 and hose had 25 year warranty on it so just get custom hoses

For what the Genuine box costs its not worth getting the britpart ones...

We are going to put a kit together at a competitive price...

Why did you buy a perentie?

KLR Automotive at South Windsor NSW is doing the conversion for about $1,700 or $1,500 for all the required parts.

Apparently they are waiting for some more PAS pumps.

Thanks everyone. As I've already bought the pump I think I'll do it all myself with some custom hoses as suggested and buy a genuine new steering box.

Barney I bought the Perentie for much the same reasons everyone else does - mainly based around capability reliability,economy and I have a passion for land rovers. I don't see how adding power steering will significantly impact any of these qualities while making it easier to drive. The power steering in my 1997 disco hasn't failed on me yet (fingers crossed).

I have not done the conversion, but have bought/replaced all the required parts over the years.
