I need some help with a power steering pipe for my January 1988 registered Land Rover 110 (built in December 1987). I have provided the Vin and serial numbers at the bottom.

In short, one on my power steering pipes is broken and I need a replacement but I cannot locate the correct pipe / product. It’s the pipe the pump to the steering box.

I purchased the same pipe online and I removed the old pipe. But when I tried to fit the new pipe, the thread was very slightly bigger, maybe by 1.5mm, as you as see from the photos. I purchased what I thought that I needed, reference number: NTC5000, but this does not fit as the thread is too big. I have checked with Land Rover and they cannot provide the OEM pipe, no longer manufactured, so I am lost as to what to do next.


Any ideas? Thanks.

Maybe you could get one made up with the original ends?

Most old school garages would braze the ends onto another piece of pipe or make up a bit of hydraulic hose with the correct ends

Try "Rimmer bros" They have a section for early Ninety, One tens.

Thanks for the help. A local garage is now making a new pipe for me with the correct size.
