Power Steering Hose

Rich Wess · 13th August 2015, 12:45

During a trip to the Alps, I hit a speedbump rather too quickly and following morning found the steering very heavy and hydraulic fluid ******* out into the engine bay, onto the campsite etc.... The local garage found that the hose was split and could not get the part. Eventually, after much ineptitude on the part of the breakdown recovery people, the car (MG-ZTT CDTi) is back in the UK.

However, Rimmers do not stock the part - saying it has been on order since the end of last year and Mark at MJN in Bristol (recomended!) has struggle to find it too.

The part description is 'Hose assembly-return gear to cooler' part number QEH000960. It is number 6 on the relevant diagram on the Rimmers webpage:

Can anybody help?
