Another Oil Leak

[daveh]

Anyone know where I can get oil cooler feed pipes apart from the main dealer? They are leaking where the flexible part is connected to the solid pipe. It seems to be a compression fit of some kind that has rusted. Have looked on Paddock and Rimmer but cant see them listed........ Thanks if you can help.

I had a hydraulic clutch let go on a Fiesta and got sent to a local hydraulic suppliers where I got it fixed for about a tenner.  All the unions are a standard of some sort and with a little bit of fiddling aroound you could replace the whole lot with superior components.  Just remember the exposed steel pipe is a cooling surface for the fluid and should be at least as long as before.

Thanks Andrew, have looked in Yellow Pages and there are a couple of places near me that I will check out next week..........Dave

After checking out local situation, not a lot of help, Got the genuine LR parts to change both pipes about £50, so will be changing them over in the next couple of days..............Cheers

If any body needs hoses of that type try a firm called Pirtek 0800 382438
they can make up hydraulic hoses(which is all they are)it's not uncommon
for hoses to fail near to wear the connectors are swaged on

I'll keep that in mind Daz, when I get the hydraulic winch fitted it needs a set of hoses and resevoir
