soo..it still leaked... DONT FORGET TO BUY NEW O RINGS!! WOOPS! Luckily i was able to just disconnect the PAS pipes from the pump and put the o rings on without having to do a full removal :D

could you not cut a grove into the bolt head to then get a flat head into it?

not worth putting in a garage just for the diagnostic?

Not sure if this site is common knowledge or not but ive found it really useful to identify parts and find part numbers etc http://cat.lrparts.ru/

two separate pipes with a clamp, the clamps fixed onto one pipe and then slots onto the other pipe then the bolt goes on to fasten it down. was easy to do. far easier than i expected.

Do you mind me asking what it sold for? tempted to jump ship to a 110 but depends if discos are fetching a price worth it

bought that from island 4x4, turns out direct replacment. Got the original pipes out..one snapped in my hand. literally fell apart So thats the leak found :) new pipes fitted. Now i just have to put it all back together.

http://www.island-4x4.co.uk/power-steering-hose-pump-reservoir-qep000082r-p-2959.html are these any good? there more than half the price of OEM or LR parts..

who was that? not many people do it..might know them :)

i do plaster moulds, mainly resotration work etc www.plaster-mouldings.com ill speak to a couple of firms, theres a hydraulic place opposite my workshop actually.....not sure if going with a made part might be a nightmare to fit over standard pert though

im based in netherley, but my workshops up in bootle so im either north or south liverpool haha you local?

reasonable priced land rover lol

yeah just seen ive been eyeing up the pipes for a LHD vehicle...which i believe are different set up pipes. cheapest i can find is £130 inc vat...can claim the VAT back so not as bad :( recon this is the cause...of my leak...haha

found an oem part for 60

there rotten!!! :( and at £130 quid not a cheap bit of pipe!! Just still need to get the rad out, cant seem to find out how to seperate the gear box cooler from the rad
