if so where can i get the hoses for cheap?? i'm in canada and the dealer is chargin about 300+taxes for em....

 

Until you find what is leaking don't go waisting money. Power scrub the area that the leak is coming from and see what shows up. What type of fluid id leaking, where are you having to add fluid?

 

When your disco quits leaking is when you worry!!

The power steering system is a common leak. The power steering box (foward driver side engine compartment) and resevoir are typicall problems.

Carefull powerwashing. Do not wash the area near the passenger side firewall (engine control module=big$$$) or anywere near the firewall for that matter if possible. Also watch out for the inertia sensor for the airbags etc. which are usually orange or brown boxes attached to yellow wire shielding. One is located right under the power steering res. Good luck finding your leak!

 

As a friend of mine from another forum's tag line reads:

"If there's no oil under it... there's no oil in it!"

 

I have have not had to replace the power steering hoses yet.

I have replaced the trany and oil cooler lines it would seam that
the rubber parts all fall apart when the Rovers get to 10 years old.

Just make sure that you find what is leaking first no need to change
good things.

 

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but...why the hell do they leak??? It's pissing me off!.. My parents don't want me to park in the driveway anymore because of it..

I mean, come on!.. Truck's aren't supposed to leak, and I don't know how people can just accept it.....

 

It's probably that there are so many leaks that, buy the time you finish fixing the last leak, the first thing you fixed the leak on has started leaking again! Kind of like a really big bridge, by the time they finish painting it, it's time to start at the other end again.Maybe it's Rover's way of ensuring you keep some what fresh fluids in it by constantly "purging" the system(s) on to the pavement LOL! Just park on your parents lawn.
