Could be a pump as well, but I'd have to hear it in person before I'd condemn it (I'm kinda cheap so I don't like replacing parts unless I'm convinced it's bad). Trying to remember if there's anything weird about changing the hoses and nothing specific comes up (but then again it's been abut 5 years since I retired and my memory is getting more suspect every day:D) I think one of the fittings on the gear is tough to get a wrench on. (high pressure I think). I remember 2 different approaches, one was to take the other hose off first then the hi press one, the other was using a long extension and a crowfoot wrench on the end. Hope this is helpful.

Gale,
Looks like its definitely the pump. I ripped off that underbelly panel and trashed it. Then I was able to run the car and watch fluid drip from the pump to my new low pressure hose (hose was bad too, but turns out its the pump also).
At least that looks like it.....so I will save $150 on the other two hoses that appear to not need replacing.
Will update later next week when the pump shows up!
Cheers,
Julian

All set! Rebuilt pump with lifetime warranty, low pressure hose, and full synthetic fluid. Quiet, no leaks, no bubbling or frothing in the reservoir :thumb-up:
Next, in the course of reading up on the ps pump, I read I should swap out the ujoints on my driveshaft to the greasable kind, else it may freeze up and blow through the tranny :eek: Driveshaft will come out next week hopefully.
Cheers,
Julian

Glad you got that all handled. One thing about these is that you never run out of things to do.:D

Got that right Gale! Freelander headlamp went out.....pulled the bulb (not a complete unit :D) and checked all fluids everywhere on the Series.....it was a Land Rover weekend!
