Fixing a leak on the power steering line

(1/3) > >>

Hi all,

For a few months now I've had a very small leak on the power steering system. Traced it to a small perforation in the pipe going from the pump to the box, caused by rubbing against the other pipe going from the box to the reservoir. Anyway, tried to fix it this afternoon temporarily using Plastic Padding's 'Leak Fix'. Just thought I'd let you all know that it didn't work. Probably because the pressure under operation.

So obviously I need to order the replacement pipe earlier than expected. Can anyone with a parts catalogue for a 95 300Tdi Discovery confirm that the part number of the power steering pipe from pump to box is QEP105760 before I place the order? :?

Range Rover Blues:
Holy cow, that's not going to be cheap.  I took mine to a local hydraulic engineers and had the flexi pipe replaced.

daveyravey:
Damn sight cheaper doing it that way.
Even Rimmers don't quote a price for them in their catalogue   :shock:

Disco-Ron:
I just last week had the one on my 200tdi fixed at an agricultural engineers suppliers place.... they cut off the old flexi pipe totally, fitted a union with an olive, and made a new flexi pipe, with an adaptor on the pump end as they couldn't use the origianl one..... total cost,







Less than 12 quid!!!!

Am I missing something, LRDirect have the following:

QEP105760
Pressure Pipe - Pump to Box 300Tdi
£32.24 inc VAT

If this is the bit then I'm more than happy to pay this. The disco is our only car so I can't take the pipe off and go shopping  :D
