Thanks Guys, the fluid has been topped up and driving/ steering nicely now. Just need to find the hose and replace it. Thanks again for all your help and input. :thumbs:

...just go to a hydraulics hose supply place with the old one and they can make one up for you - even a flexible one if it makes it easier to instal.
But be aware that our local hydraulic hose supplier always asks what the pipe is for and if they find it's for an automotive application they'll refuse to make it on safety grounds, so it might pay to have an answer ready... :thumbs:

Power steering fluid leaks are a reliable source of under-bonnet fires... :whistle:

My hydraulics supplier has supplied brake flexible and oil pipes for me on many occasions and is very helpful

Spectrum Hose in High Wycombe if you need anything
