If you have the old hose I can get it made for you.
We have a Hydrullic Company near to us. .

It looks like the steering rack, one of the gaitor's has split before so i cable tied it, its been fine for ages with no leeks, but i have just looked and it seems to be leaking from the gaitor..

I presume i just need a new gaitor and not rack ????

I got two sets from Ford last year. No problem then, as they came from Germany, as I have a left hand drive car. Not sure about now though?
