power steering pipes

Postby highlander36 » Thu Mar 18, 2010 1:32 pm

hi I have 95 100 lwb 2.5td automatic I have a problem with my my power steering fluid liquid leaking and was told I need power steering pipes from the rack to the pump and from the rack to the bottle. Do I need to get these pipes from an automatic transit or can I use the pipes from a manual transit any help appreciated thanks

Manual or automatic, will fit exactly the same :D
There was a change of design/routing of the pipes during 1996/7 is all I can think of and some had a power steering cooler for heavy duty application :D

Where is it leaking from? on my old M reg the pipes wore through on the crossmember where they are held in place (vibrations had caused it to rub through), i cut the pipes at the leak, removed that small section and rejoined em with gas pipe compression fittings in the same dia :mrgreen:
