2,5 NA to 200 TDI: power steering hose question

[Smokydiesel]

Hi,

I'm converting my 2,5 NA to a Disco 200 TDI and parts-wise I'm almost there.

Now I know that the high pressure PAS hose from the pump to the box is a problem (connection on pump is different)

I was thinking, would a new Pump to Box hose from a Defender or Discovery 200 TDI do the job ??

2 items I can think of:

Is the hose long enhough ?

Will the box-end of the pipe fit my 2,5 na steering box ? (or is the NA steering box different from the one used in 200 TDI s..)

Thanks !

Edwin.

if your old engine had power steering pump fitted, you could use that pump & hoses on the 200Tdi.

steering box threads depend on which box is fitted 3, 4 or 6 bolt holding the top cover on ?

Hi,

My old engine has a PAS pump but I thought that swapping pumps would mean welding up a new bracket (that's what I'm not good at..)

Mmmmm... might have to do a new search on the forum here....

Will have a look at what box I have tomorrow.

Thanks !

the alternator/pas pump bracket on the old engine is either ERC6974 or ETC8854, on a Defender 200Tdi it's ETC8854, The Discovery one is different again but the old engines bracket should fit, got to be with a go at swapping them over.

I went through a bin of pipes at a land rover breakers and found one of a range rover with the correct fitting on it for the steering box end.

I had mine changed over at pirtek, had a different size thread
