Power steering hose blow out
On the way back for a recent engine change I was alarmed to suddenly
lose the power steering on a roundabout.
The high pressure hose connecter from the base of the steering pump had
blown a large hole and sprayed hydraulic fluid everywhere.
Fortunately I was able to get a replacement hose made up by Designation Ltd who made up a
new one in minutes.
After fitting the replacement hose I topped up the reservoir with 3.1
litres of hydraulic fluid and the job was done.
Here is a picture of the damaged hose and the replacement.
