Help please! 420 power steering.

Postby BookerME » Sun Dec 16, 2018 3:53 pm

Has anyone got a RH drive 420 please?

Would you take a look under your bonnet for me and check the connections of your power steering hoses at the steering box end please?
I need to make sure I’ve connected up my inlet & outlet pipes correctly. Like a fool, I didn’t make a proper note of the connections before I removed them both.

I have the high pressure inlet from the bolted connection on pump going into the lower, outer junction of the steering box (this sits toward the front of the car) and the low pressure return (the one with a jubilee clip at the pump end) on the inner connection point of the steering box which sits toward the rear of the car slightly behind the other connection point.

Many thanks in advance. Mac.

Sorted! It was as described above.
A tricky old job to reconnect the hoses at the steering box end with next-to-no room to work but do-able with decent open-ended spanners.
