OK some progress (I think), although this is going to cost me an arm and a leg!

Garage reckon they have isolated the problem with my noisy power steering to a small crack in the cooling pipe which is allowing air into the system. They've done a run with the pipe bypassed and apparently it was fine.

Question is now how do I get a replacement as it's a discontinued part (701422091A) which I'm having problems tracking down. Anyone breaking a T4 able to help?

Do I actually need it n the UK climate anyway or would it be OK to bypass it longer term?

Any advice gratefully received.

Thanks in advance.

think I've got 3 of those 'cooler' pipes in my scrap pile, you can have one for the cost of postage (without SCENE-TAX I: ) but tbh I'd just bypass it straight to the reservoir (I've done it on a few, mine included) A:
