any more details on the hydro power steering?

"What exactly is "full hydraulic steering?"
The expression refers to any of various steering system configurations where a vehicle is steered solely by means of a hydraulic circuit comprising, as a minimum, a pump, lines, fluid, valve, and cylinder (actuator). that is to say, the vehicle is steered (usually via the front wheels) purely by a hydraulically powered steering cylinder. This is an important distinction from "hydraulically assisted" steering, where hydraulic power serves only to assist a mechanical steering system (as is the case with the every-day Saginaw hydraulically assisted power steering on virtually every light car / truck on the road today), and is also the reason for the inclusion of the word "full" (as in FULL Hydraulic steering) in common use. It indicates that the vehicle is steered ONLY by hydraulics, with no other system (mechanical linkage) in place.
Hydraulic steering has been used forever on a huge number and variety of pieces of equipment - from small forklifts and garden tractors to combine harvesters, large tractors, massive earth moving equipment, construction and mining equipment, aircraft, boats, ships, and many many others.
The correct industry term for this kind of "full" hydraulic steering is HYDROSTATIC STEERING.

Basically it's a double acting hydraulic cylinder ie the chrome rod sticks out of both sides. As it says above forklifts have used it for years. I believe that you can't use full power hydraulic steering on the road in this country unless it's for agriculture like those telehandler forklifts that farmers use. The reason you use it on the road in the UK is that when it fails you hav no steering whatsoever which is fine when you are just crawling around a pay and play site but brown pants time at 60mph on the motorway...plus it makes a mess. That's why you have power assisted steering (PAS) on your car, because when it fails ypu still have a manual rack or box (albeit quite heavy) to get you out of trouble.

Coming in your ears.
The very good things about hydro steer are:
Huge power assistance ratio, ie very easy to turn huge competition tyres at a standstill on your land rover
Zero restriction with axle articulation as no mechanical link and steering ram is fitted to axle, thus meaning no drag link just rubber hoses so your axle is much less restricted to move around
