Hi, wondering if you guys can help, the metal pipe that comes out from the bottom of the radiator and sits over the steering box is corroded on my chim and needs replacing - anyone know if it's a standard Land Rover part and where to get one from, it's kind of an 'f' shape? Your help would be much appreciated, cheers, Si

ACT do a very good stainless steel version, fitted one to mine a few months back and it is first class.

looking at that it looks like one of the rack mounting bolts is undone and sitting there!

Is that serp belt taking the right route? different to mine.
Thinking about it, unless your water pump is supposed to go the other way round .......

yeseeki was also thinking off the lack of belt contacting the Alternator pulley nono the pump is rotating correctly but the belt is routed wrong.
