Hi Gents,
I have a 1990 Defender with a 200tdi Discovery engine fitted.
I just changed the power steering pump, when I ran the engine for the first time power steering fluid was pouring out of the high pressure hose connection at the pump. The pump is a NTC8288 I believe.
The end of the high pressure hose has a flared end, with a threaded ferrule/sleeve over that threads into the body of the big nut on the pump.
I'm wondering if there is a washer or o ring or something I'm missing that maybe dropped off the hose when I removed it from the original pump??
I have snugged up the threaded part as far as possible, cant move it any tighter, but there still seems to be about 5mm thread visible - is this normal?
Thanks gents, any help or advice appreciated.
Pete
