Power Steering Pipes
Discussion
1 of my power steering pipes has been oozing fluid for a while, but is getting progressivly worse, so needs to be replaced.
TVR want £160 (+ VAT) for the 2 braided pipes ! Has anyone else had them replaced, or had a custom set made up ?
I've found a company in Buckingham, that can make custom pipe/s to order (although they specialise in copper fuel/brake lines). Am posting the existing pipe to them later this week, and will let you know what they say.....

Hi Ashfordites...
Pirtek will do them, at a price.
The other people to try is Universal Hose and Coupling in Ellingham.
Haven't been out there for a while, but they were very helpful when I was building one of my projects.

No problem - still gives me another option thats not too far away should the quote that Pirtek give me heart failiure ! 
(mind you, with TVR quoting £160, it'll take some beating !)
(and they had the sense to have a recorded message on their old number with the new one)
Have good weekends all !

Finally I got round to going down to Pirtek bright & early on Saturday morning.
After 20mins of cursing & swearing at the old pipe in the car park (removing it from the car), I took the pipe inside & they made a replacement up there & then in about 15 mins. 1st attempt didn't fit, so they took it back inside, changed one of the conenctors & out it came again. After a bit more swearing, the pipe was back on the car & looked better then the old pipe !
And the cost for this new pipe ? As I was paying cash, a VERY reasonable £30 ! And they even topped up the system up with fresh fluid for me !
So a BIG thumbs up to the guys at Pirtek in Ashford !
