PAS Pump to Box pipe. HELP REQUIRED!

Hello all,

So I've taken some time off work to get some essentials done on my defender 90. Yesterday I was changing my leaky old 6 bolt steering box for a nice recon 4 bolt box, all was going well until I started to reconnect the two pipes on the top of the box. The Pump to Box pipe is cross threaded at the pump end and a little worse for wear.

Here is where my fun begins,

The defender has a 200tdi from a disco in it. Upon checking the pipes P/N the metal clasp reads NTC5494, after quick google I realise this is a DISCO 1 pipe which raises some questions I hope you guys could help me with.

1. Is it a case of I can only refit a DISCO 1 pipe due to having a DISCO engine installed - if so do the threads of the union match the 4 bolt steering box for a defender?
2. Am I better installing a DEFENDER 200tdi pump to box pipe - if i do this will the pump side of the pipe have the correct fitting?

If you guys require any pictures or further investigation on my behalf to give me a more accurate answer please let me know.

Cheers,

John.

disco pipe if disco engine plus pump threads on all 4 bolt boxes are the same whether def or disco

Thank you very much!

There are two different fittings at the pump end, make sure you get the right one. If you buy a new Disco pipe it will probably be a bit short when fitted to a defender - Many people get the flexible bit lengthened at Pirtek or similar hydraulic fitters. IIRC it cost me less than £20.
