Default Need to buy the HP power steering hose

Where is the best place that will ship to Canada? Or a good used 1 from a dependable guy like Paul Grant, maybe?


Any thoughts?


As always, thanks I advance for any suggestions,
toad

I always get best shipping to Canada from LR Direct and Rimmer Bros.
Completely illogical that shipping across the Atlantic is cheaper than from Buffalo, but there it is.

We find that, it's cheaper per kilometre to send to the US than within France Metropolitan but expensive to send from Germany to here or send from here to the UK. It's all a bit nonsensical, why? who's ripping who off I wonder, c'est la vie.

I have been researching postal costs recently to send my new project overseas and was amazed at the differences.

Take the old hose to a hydraulic tractor repairers and have a new one made. It'll work out far cheaper and quicker.

I just put a piece of hydraulic hose clamped to the cooler and got rid of the stupid ends that land Rover uses. I did it last summer and they are still installed and not leaking.

A great result, well done, 10% of the LR rip off price, they'll just hate that!
