mikec Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I'm trying to get a replacement for this pipe, I bought the entire setup (box,pump,pipes) a few years back and sure they were from a disco (v8). But I can't seem to find one, it's got a four bolt box and the reservoir was on the passenger side. It might be that the pipe is modded Ath the end with just the hose and no fitting. But the replacement needs to have the bend in it on the box end to get round the others. Any help please. Ps it'sthe one in the centre of the pic.

western Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 in the yellow ring is a metal tag wrapped around the hose section, if you clean it you'll be able to read the part number, then post it here & I'll be able to match it to it's partener hose & original parent vehicle model.

Dave W Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 They look like standard V8 Disco or RRC pipes. The long straight section (one of yours is slightly bent) on each runs along the inside of the front cross member with the pipe without any fittings going to the reservoir (mounted on the LHS next to the radiator) and the other going to the power steering pump. The reservoir has another pipe that goes to the power steering pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's a mishmash, it's all been on and running till the threads on the pipe stripped, hopefully the box threads are usable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 You need to take a close up photo of the steering box end of the pipe. There are two different thread types (imperial and metric) and determining which you have will be necessary to determine the part number if you can't find/read the yellow tag. They are easy enough to tell apart from the shape (the metric fittings use an O ring and a flat seal, the imperial ones use an olive style fitting. Most 4 bolt boxes are metric BUT not all, there was a changeover period where they used the 4 bolt box with the earlier imperial 3 bolt pipework, even the bolts through the chassis were imperial. Having said that I've never known anyone manage to strip the threads... maybe you have an imperial 4 bolt and a metric pipe ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikec Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Ah it's ntc7952, which a quick google came up with a thread from here a whole back, which points to ntc3086, but that's no use to me as I need the threaded end. Nothing's ever blooming simple is it! Think I'll just get the hoses to mount the reservoir on the drivers side as there's more room there anyway, so next question wich defenders have the reservoir on the drivers side? Cheers for the he.p guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically the pipe I stripped was one that had been in, I had only took it out to get room to get a spanner in for the new pump to box pipe. I'll check the ends...

western Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I see you've found this thread http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=75686 my 110 1989 upto 200tdi have the PAS tank on driber side of engine bay, using bracket item 3 in http://www.numcat.ru/landrover/p/31/53708/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgasmic Farmer Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I have an early 110 reservoir here from the drivers side with short pipe to PAS box, albeit a 6 bolt type. Not sure if that is any good to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikec Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Ok just checked again and both old pipes have o rings. So that's a bit of good news. Out of interest did any other threads change along the way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikec Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Ooops, rushing about in the dark I looked at the wrong hose, the hose that's bust is actually Ntc8882, there's even less info on that on google! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orgasmic Farmer Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 The one I have has the bracket but it is the early steel reservoir. Much larger capacity than the later plastic ones. Let me know if you want it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 That's a 90 or 110 TD & TDi PAS tank, same as my '89 110 has fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikec Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 Ok ordered a replacement pipe and that's not looking great, does anyone know what thread the pipes are (large and small diameter)? So I can get a tap? Cheers mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
