I was more of an abstract artist Mark.
Is it worth denso taping the pipes if they are in good condition to avoid corrosion etc?

I managed to get a good hose from A8parts and electrolytically de-rusted the main union. Painted it, wrapped it in self-amalgamating tape, and then covered it in adhesive-lined heatshrink. No more mud and water getting in there

MJ which paint did you use? And which heatshrink?
My pipes have arrived I'm thinking its a good idea to future proof them as much as possible before installing them. |

Ronseal No-rust Metal Paint, and then some 4:1 shrink ratio adhesive-lined heatshrink I found on ebay I did all the crimped joints with heatshrink too.

Thanks Mikki!
Do you know the torque settings for the pipe bolts, both delivery return and return pipes please. My computer which has ElsaWin on it won't start up! Is it just a bolt on job then re-fill, no complicated procedures to bleed air out? Thanks! |

No idea on torque specs tbh, but I'll have a look later. You can't get a torque wrench on most of the bolts anyway so I just tighten them until they feel right. Make sure you use new sealing washers.
No complicated procedures. Just re-fill and swing the steering from lock to lock until the pump quietens down. |

Thanks Mikki!
Good point its so tight in there I wont be able to get a torque wrench in there. I'll just do it by feel. I ordered all new washers and banjos. Just hope the old ones are not seized up. |

You need to remove the belly pan/undertray and you find the PS pump with all the hoses in the front wheel well area which is where the corriosion etc happens apparently.
