Default Replace power steering pipe on XK8

Today found power steering fluid all over the garage floor!!
After investigation it appears the fluid is flowing out off the bottom of the pipe that connects the ps pump to the steering rack.
Can anyone please suggest the best place to order the new pipe from and is it a difficult job to replace this pipe??


Many thanks, David

I did this a few weeks ago. I got the part from JPLV (Gaudin Jaguar in Las Vegas). It is an updated part so it will not look like the original.

David - I feel you pain - currently getting ready to replace the exact hose on mine. It doesn't look difficult but will let you know shortly.


As far as best place to buy, recommend checking out our sponsors SNG Barratt (forum member discount) or JagBits. Other options include Gaudin's, Terry's Jaguar Parts, XK's Unlimited - price before you buy. I used my indie as I get a discount plus get rewards points with them I can use as cash with them.
