Folks, I'm hoping for some collective forum help. Our 2nd gen 3.0 has gone in to our friendly local shop for some improvements to the ATF cooling following this summers towing experiences. While it was in I asked the guys to check over the power steering. It got an advisory at the last MoT about misting around the system but over the last 6 months its got noisier and a definite damp patch has appeared under where the truck is parked.
The verdict that came back today is that its one of the pressurised hoses that needs replacing. Not a big deal except that apparently the Toyota original hoses only come in pairs. Worse the quoted ones list at 300 quid. Worst of all they are not currently available.
So good people of the forum does anyone have any experience of good quality alternatives? In my youth the first thing we did with our motorbikes was replace standard brake hoses with braided lines because they looked better and performance improved. Is there a recommended equivalent in the power steering world?
Your experience and opinions will be gratefully received.
Cheers,
Hugh.
