Normally they end up being destroyed so have a couple small jubilee clips to replace them
You'll find one end can be levered off

I used something like a Dremel very carefully.

Are they factory fitted. If that's the case then the fluid likely has never been changed.
I'll see if I can peel the tabs off with a thin flathead screwdriver. The tabs are around the back which makes this a nightmare...

They can be taken off with like a pliers and screwdriver. They need a special tool to clamp them on better off replacing them. They are stronger than usual clips but old by now. Check other end see if it been done already tuther side or if it can come off without disturbing them.

Those type of clips can be tightened up with ceramic tile nippers if any needs to.

Right, changed the steering fluid and the noise is still there. It goes away when I'm accelerating but comes back when the cars idling.

Get yourself a long screwdriver and have a listen on the pump body while the engine is running.
If it whining from within its worn

I've got a hospital appointment tomorrow. Do you think it'll last that long if its just started failing?

À good question, depends on exactly what is going on..
Does the noise get louder when you turn or strain the steering.
Do they do land-rover repairs at the hospital?

Yes, the noise gets louder when turning, however, it's just started after fixing the pump.

Just remind me please, has the pump been replaced as this one sounds a bit worn..

No. The pumps probably original but the fluid has been replaced.

Sorry, when I said "after fixing the pump" I meant the FIP.

I'm taking it to the garage today. I could have done the job myself but I've just been in the ICU in hospital with a blood clot on the lungs (which is still there) So I can't be arsed to do it myself.

Hope you are OK, had the Covid vaccine lately? It seems to be one of the causes of blood clots.I'm taking it to the garage today. I could have done the job myself but I've just been in the ICU in hospital with a blood clot on the lungs (which is still there) So I can't be arsed to do it myself.

Yeah, I was sceptical about the covid jab but now I feel certain it has something to do with this.
